Perez Commits to Cadillac Through 2029
Sergio Perez will continue racing for Cadillac in Formula 1 through at least the 2029 season following a contract extension announced by the American squad. The timing of the announcement comes on the eve of his home event, the Mexican Grand Prix, where the veteran driver will also celebrate his 300th start in the world championship. Finalising the new deal guarantees Perez's place on the grid with the American outfit across at least the next three seasons.
Commitment to Cadillac's Long-Term Project
Addressing the agreement, Perez explained that committing to Cadillac from its very first day was a project in which he had genuine belief, framing the contract extension as a natural continuation of that opening phase. The Mexican driver highlighted that constructing a Formula 1 organization from the ground up requires significant time, persistent effort, and patience, adding that the collaborative progress achieved so far has been immensely rewarding. Acknowledging that substantial development work remains ahead, Perez stated that he is fully invested in the program for the upcoming three years.
