Sergio Perez has committed his future to Cadillac, signing a multi-year contract extension that will keep him with the American Formula One team until 2029. The agreement represents a significant show of faith from both parties despite the squad’s challenging position in the championship standings.
The timing of Perez’s commitment carries particular significance as the Mexican driver prepares for a career milestone. Perez is heading into his 300th Grand Prix start in Mexico City, making it a poignant moment to extend his tenure with the team he joined from its inception.
Building for the Future
Perez’s extension comes as Cadillac continues to navigate a difficult 2026 season. The American team currently sits at the bottom of the 2026 standings, with neither Perez nor teammate Valtteri Bottas having scored points this season. Despite these struggles, Perez remains convinced of the project’s long-term potential.
“Joining Cadillac from day one was a project I truly believed in, and extending my commitment feels like a natural continuation of this chapter,” Perez stated. His words underscore a driver who remains committed to the team’s vision even as it faces immediate competitive challenges on track.
The driver lineup also includes Max Verstappen among the grid’s elite, providing context for where Perez and Cadillac currently stand within the sport’s hierarchy. The gap between the championship contenders and Cadillac’s current performance illustrates the magnitude of the rebuild ahead for the American outfit.
Perez’s decision to extend through 2029 signals confidence that Cadillac can turn its fortunes around during the coming seasons. With a veteran driver of his experience anchoring the project for the next several years, the team has secured continuity as it works toward returning to competitiveness in Formula One’s premier championship.
