Although a few months ago we wouldn't have seen much chance of this, at the moment it is increasingly likely that Sergio Perez's Formula 1 career will not end, but simply be paused.
It is clear that if there is a chance for the driver anywhere, it is the incoming Cadillac stable, where they are currently still waiting for official approval from the FOM and the FIA. However, work is already underway at all levels in the background, 2026 is very close, and as we know, no racing car can run without a driver. Sergio Perez is strung up on this foundation, who is said to be not stealing the day and is already in advanced negotiations with the Andretti-like team. As a new entrant, the Americans definitely place the emphasis on experience, guided by this, they are working with Ferrari on the powertrain before General Motors takes over this area and the team in 2028. The American influence is important for Cadillac, they are thinking locally not only in name, but also in the financial background and the identity of the drivers.
The Andrettis will have an important role in selecting the driver line-up, and it is well known that the Perezs 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 driver duo, who are extremely popular overseas.
