Pérez Commits to Cadillac for 2026 With Two-Year Deal He Calls His ‘Last Big Project’

The move highlights how the 2026 rules reset is driving long-term bets and reshaping priorities across the grid.

Overview

  • Sergio Pérez was unveiled in Mexico City as a Cadillac driver from 2026, signing for two seasons alongside Valtteri Bottas.
  • Pérez described the venture as his final major project and warned the first year could bring few points as the team builds for the long term.
  • Max Verstappen said he was very happy to see Pérez return, while veteran figure Jo Ramírez argued the Mexican now has a chance to show Red Bull misjudged his exit, as reported.
  • Pierre Gasly said Alpine’s A525 will remain largely unchanged through 2025 as the team shifts focus to its 2026 program under incoming leadership.
  • Franco Colapinto, still without points after eight starts for Alpine, marked a year since his F1 debut and said his status for 2026 remains uncertain.
