Perez strikes back: The Cadillac is coming, could the Mexican return!?

Although a few months ago we would not have seen much chance of this, at this moment it is becoming increasingly likely that Sergio Perez's Formula 1 career is not coming to an end, just on hold.

It is clear that if there is a chance for the driver somewhere, it is with the incoming Cadillac team, which is still waiting for the official approval from FOM and FIA. However, behind the scenes, work is already in full swing at all levels, 2026 is very close, and as we know, no racing car goes without a driver. Based on this foundation, Sergio Perez comes into view, who is reportedly not idly sitting by and is already in advanced negotiations with the Andretti team. As a fresh entry, the Americans will definitely place emphasis on experience, and driven by this, they are collaborating with Ferrari regarding the power unit before General Motors takes over this area and the team in 2028. The Cadillac team finds the American influence essential, thinking locally not only in name but also in financial background and the identity of the drivers.

Andretti's team will play an important role in selecting the driver lineup, and it is well known that the Perez family has a good relationship with them. Therefore, one who bets a larger sum on the Sergio Perez - Colton Herta driver pairing, which enjoys tremendous popularity across the ocean, does not take a big risk.
