Sergio Pérez Rallies Cadillac F1 Staff on First Visit to Silverstone HQ

The 2026 hire begins a two-site integration program ahead of Cadillac’s Ferrari-powered debut.

Overview

  • Pérez addressed factory personnel alongside team principal Graeme Lowdon, telling staff it matters more where the team finishes than where it starts.
  • The visit marks the first stop on a tour that will also take Pérez to Cadillac’s North Carolina base in Charlotte.
  • Reporting indicates Pérez is expected to log permitted mileage in an older Ferrari under the FIA’s Testing of Previous Cars provisions to prepare for 2026.
  • Cadillac confirmed a veteran driver lineup of Pérez and Valtteri Bottas for its inaugural season, with Pérez returning after a year out following his Red Bull exit.
  • The new entrant plans to run Ferrari power units initially before a future move to a GM works engine, as rivals warn early competitiveness will be hard to achieve.
