Sergio Perez

Sergio Perez brings a wealth of experience to the Cadillac F1 programme in 2026, with 280 career race starts and six victories to his name. The Mexican driver’s move from Red Bull Racing marks a new chapter for one of the most seasoned competitors on the current grid.

Perez made his name as a tyre management specialist during his early career at Sauber and Force India, where his ability to preserve rubber in the closing stages of races became legendary. His breakthrough victory at the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix with Racing Point cemented his reputation as a driver capable of performing at the highest level.

During his time at Red Bull alongside Max Verstappen, Perez played a crucial supporting role in the team’s dominant 2023 campaign, contributing four victories and proving he could deliver when the team needed him most. His street circuit prowess, particularly in Monaco, Singapore, and Baku, remains among the best in the paddock.

At Cadillac, Perez joins Valtteri Bottas in forming one of the most experienced driver pairings on the grid. His knowledge of operating within a top team’s structure, combined with his relentless work ethic and commercial value in the Latin American market, makes him a strategic asset as Cadillac builds its F1 legacy.
