Mansell Urges Cadillac: “Revolutionize with Perez’s Stellar Experience for F1 Debut!”

Former Formula 1 world champion Nigel Mansell has made a bold statement, advising the new team Cadillac to seek out Sergio Perez for his invaluable experience in the sport. The racing world is abuzz with rumors of Perez’s potential return to the F1 grid in 2026, with Cadillac and Alpine reportedly expressing interest in the Mexican driver.

Perez, who has been eyeing a comeback to Formula 1, is in a prime position to capitalize on the recent struggles of Red Bull’s second drivers. With negotiations reportedly progressing with Cadillac, Mansell believes Perez’s expertise and track record make him an ideal candidate for a team starting from scratch.

In Mansell’s own words, “Checo deserves another opportunity. He has a lot of experience and drove well last year, helping Max to win the title.” The racing legend emphasized the importance of having seasoned drivers in the inaugural year of a new team, highlighting the need for valuable feedback to ensure competitiveness from the get-go.

With Mansell’s endorsement ringing loud and clear, all eyes are now on Cadillac to see if they will heed the advice of the former champion and secure the services of Sergio Perez for their F1 debut in 2026. The stage is set for a thrilling comeback story in the world of motorsport, with Perez potentially leading the charge for a new era of racing excellence.
