Sergio Pérez has extended his collaboration with Cadillac Racing until 2029, reaffirming his commitment to the American team at a crucial moment in his career. This renewal comes just before his home race in Mexico, where he will celebrate his 300th Formula 1 Grand Prix.
Pérez, who joined Cadillac for his F1 debut in 2026, has navigated a difficult yet learning-filled year. As the team has evolved, the Mexican has shown a notable improvement in his performance, effectively competing alongside his teammate, Valtteri Bottas.
Since the beginning of his time at Cadillac, Pérez has expressed his desire to actively contribute to building the team, establishing a close relationship with both the team’s CEO, Dan Towriss, and Mark Reuss, head of General Motors. The success of the project has been key to his decision to sign a new contract.
In his statements, Pérez said that ‘joining Cadillac F1 from day one has been a project I have believed in, and the extension of my commitment is a natural continuation of this chapter.’ He added that ‘building an F1 team from scratch requires time, tireless work, and patience, but the progress we are achieving together is incredibly rewarding.’
Mark Reuss highlighted that Pérez’s continuity is essential for the team’s development, strengthening the foundation established during the first year. His presence is considered critical to meet upcoming challenges and progress in the competition’s standings.
With this new phase marked, uncertainty remains about who will be Pérez’s teammate starting in 2026, as Bottas’ situation with Cadillac is under reevaluation after a season of inconsistent results.
