Cadillac Extends Sergio Pérez Contract Through 2029

The team says the renewal secures the experienced driver’s leadership to speed up its multi-year Formula 1 development programme.

Overview

  • Cadillac announced Wednesday that it had extended Sergio Pérez’s deal through at least 2029 and marked the news with a Mexico City showrun timed for his 300th Grand Prix.
  • Pérez said he believes in the Cadillac project and called the extension a natural continuation of his commitment to help build the team.
  • Cadillac’s statement credited Pérez with delivering technical feedback that has accelerated chassis development and improved race operations across its facilities in Silverstone, Indianapolis and Charlotte.
  • The team remains scoreless and last in the 2026 Constructors’ Championship, making leadership and continuity a priority even as on-track results lag.
  • Cadillac has not confirmed Valtteri Bottas for 2027, leaving the second cockpit open and prompting interest from other drivers while the team focuses on steady progress rather than quick fixes.
