Sergio Perez’s triumphant return to Formula 1 is on the horizon, with a major boost coming from a top team chief who confirmed the Mexican driver is being seriously considered for a coveted seat in the upcoming season. After being sidelined this year following his departure from Red Bull, Perez is now a leading contender for a spot at Cadillac, the new team set to join the F1 grid next year.
In an exclusive interview on the Fox Sports Pit Talk podcast, Cadillac advisor Mario Andretti revealed, “All I can tell you is that he’s certainly one of the drivers that’s being considered. He has to be.” The 85-year-old racing legend emphasized the importance of thorough consideration, stating, “I think we want to keep that luxury to ourselves until we feel that we have scanned the entire spectrum of availability.”
With limited high-profile options available, including Mercedes reserve driver Valtteri Bottas and former Red Bull star Daniel Ricciardo, all eyes are on Cadillac as they weigh their decision between experienced drivers and potential rookies. Team principal Graeme Lowdon has expressed interest in having an American driver on the grid, with IndyCar racer Colton Herta emerging as a top contender for a seat.
As the anticipation builds for the official lineup announcement, F1 fans are eagerly awaiting to see if Sergio Perez will make a sensational comeback to the sport with Cadillac in the upcoming season.
