Sergio Perez has confirmed his commitment to the Cadillac Formula 1® Team by extending his contract until at least the 2029 season. This announcement came ahead of the 2026 Mexico City Grand Prix, marking a significant step for both the driver and the American outfit as they continue to develop their presence in the championship.
Having joined Cadillac ahead of their debut season in Formula 1® in 2026, Perez brings valuable experience to the team. With six Grand Prix wins to his name and approaching his 300th Formula 1® start at his home race in Mexico City, the Mexican driver’s extension signals a long-term partnership focused on growth and stability.
Perez expressed strong belief in Cadillac’s project and highlighted his commitment to building the team over the coming years. He acknowledged the support he has received from key figures at TWG Motorsports and General Motors, which has been instrumental in his decision to stay. Cadillac’s CEO, Dan Towriss, emphasized Perez’s talent and leadership as essential components for the team’s ongoing development and future success.
While Cadillac has yet to score points in the 2026 season, the team has demonstrated steady improvement as they adapt to the demands of Formula 1®. Perez’s experience and leadership are seen as key factors in helping the team progress through the early stages of their campaign.
The contract extension reflects a mutual commitment between Perez and Cadillac to work together over the next several seasons. It provides the team with continuity in their driver lineup as they aim to establish themselves more firmly within the highly competitive environment of Formula 1®.
As the 2026 Mexico City Grand Prix approaches, Perez’s milestone 300th start adds an extra layer of significance to the weekend for both the driver and the team. His ongoing role at Cadillac will be closely watched as they continue to develop their car and challenge for stronger results in the seasons ahead.
