Although we didn't see much chance of it a few months ago, at this point it seems increasingly likely that Sergio Pérez's Formula 1 career is not over, it is merely on hold.
It is clear that if a racer has a chance anywhere, it is in the upcoming Cadillac team, which is still waiting for official approval from the FOM and the FIA. However, in the background, they are already working intensively at all levels, 2026 is very close and as we know, no racing car will leave without a racer. On this basis, Sergio Pérez appears, who is said to not be idle and is already in advanced negotiations with the Andretti team. The Americans, as newcomers, certainly emphasize experience, which is why they are working with Ferrari on the engine before the General Motors team takes over this area in 2028. For Cadillac, the American influence is essential, not only in the name, but also in the financial background and in the identity of the racers, they think locally.
The Andretti family will play an important role in the selection of drivers, and the Perezs are known to have a good relationship with them. That is why it is not a big risk for anyone who bets big money on the Sergio Perez - Colton Herta racing duo, which enjoys immense popularity on the other side of the ocean.
