Overview
- Cadillac announced the contract extension on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, confirming Pérez will remain with the team until at least the end of 2029.
- The deal was revealed ahead of Pérez’s 300th Grand Prix at Mexico City and the team cited his technical feedback, race craft, and leadership as reasons for the long-term commitment.
- Cadillac’s 2026 debut season has produced no championship points, with Pérez’s best classified results in 2026 being 14th and a Monaco finish of 10th lost to a post-race penalty.
- Valtteri Bottas’s future at Cadillac remains unresolved and the team is reportedly considering alternatives for 2027, with Colton Herta, Yuki Tsunoda and Frederik Vesti among names linked in reports.
- The extension buys Cadillac continuity as it works through first-year problems such as production consistency and limited upgrade scope under the budget cap, and the next signs of progress will be lap-time gains, reliability improvements and the identity of Pérez’s 2027 team-mate.
