Sergio Perez is set to remain with Cadillac through the 2029 season, giving the American team’s Formula 1 project a major boost as it continues building for the future.
The Mexican driver is bringing years of experience at the highest level of motorsports to Cadillac, which made its highly anticipated entry into Formula 1 in 2026.
Perez has spent years competing against the best drivers in the world, including winning multiple Grands Prix and helping Red Bull secure the Constructors’ Championship during his time with the team.
That experience could prove extremely valuable for Cadillac as it works to establish itself in one of the most competitive environments in all of sports. Building a successful F1 team takes time, and having an experienced driver involved for multiple seasons can provide important stability.
Perez’s future has been a major talking point ever since his departure from Red Bull at the end of 2024. After sitting out the 2025 season, he returned to the grid with Cadillac for its first year in Formula 1.
Now, a commitment through 2029 would give both sides a long-term foundation as the team looks to develop its car, strengthen its operations, and eventually challenge the established names on the grid.
Cadillac’s arrival has brought another American manufacturer into Formula 1, and the team’s ambitions extend well beyond simply making up the numbers.
With Perez’s experience behind the wheel, the team will be hoping it can accelerate that progress over the next several seasons.
Cadillac is making it clear that Sergio Perez is part of its long-term plans.
