Pérez attended the US Open final at Arthur Ashe with his wife, using the stage for public engagement following his confirmation as a 2026 Cadillac F1 driver. Escudería Telmex shared a photo of Pérez with designer Tommy Hilfiger and GM CEO Mary Barra at the stadium, underscoring ties to key backers. Tommy Hilfiger is set to supply team apparel and fan merchandise for Cadillac’s F1 program under a deal announced earlier this year. Cadillac said teams in Silverstone and Charlotte ran Italian Grand Prix–weekend simulations as part of preparations for the 2026 debut. Excélsior reported that Pérez plans facility visits in the UK and US in the coming months with initial pre‑season running targeted for February.
