Although a few months ago we would not have seen much chance of this, at the moment it is increasingly likely that Sergio Perez's Formula 1 career is not over, but is just on hold.
It is clear that if there is a chance for the driver, it is with the upcoming Cadillac team, where they are currently still waiting for official approval from the FOM and the FIA. However, behind the scenes, work is proceeding at full speed at all levels, 2026 is very close and, as we know, no racing car goes on the track without a driver. On this basis, Sergio Perez presents himself, who apparently is not wasting time and is already conducting advanced negotiations with the Andretti team. The Americans, as new entrants, will certainly rely on experience, and along these lines they are collaborating with Ferrari on the engine, before General Motors takes over this sector and the team in 2028. For Cadillac, the American impact is crucial, not only in the name, but also in the financial background and in the choice of drivers, thinking locally.
Andretti will play a major role in choosing the driver lineup, and Perez is known to have a good relationship with them. Precisely for this reason, those who bet on Sergio Perez - Colton Herta, a driver pairing that enjoys enormous popularity overseas, are not taking a big risk.
