168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez is reportedly hoping to secure an F1 comeback with Cadillac in 2026.

After 14 successive seasons in F1, the 35-year-old M꧟exican has been left without a drive for 2025 after being dropped by Red Bull following a hugely disappointing 2024 campaign.

Perez’s woeful form and struggles alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen led to Red Bull replacing him with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Liam Lawson for the upcoming season.

The six-time grand prix winner has said he would take at least six 💃months off racing while he assesses his future options, suggesting he cou♐ld be tempted back by an “interesting project”.

That could come at Cadillac, who are preparing to make their F1 debut iꩲn 2026 as the sport’s 11th team.

Two extra seats will open up on the ༒grid and Perez’s experience and sponsorship backing make him an obvious candidate for a🧸 potential drive with the American outfit.

Spanish publication Marca claim that Perez’s “big goal” is to return to F1, adding th�⛦�at the General-Motors-owned team represents a “good option” for him.

1978 F1 world champion Mario Andretti, who is acting as an advisor for Cadillac, has i🐻ndicated that the team want to sign an experi🦄enced driver.

“You mentioning candidates, he’s definitely one that’s considered,” Andre𝓡tti told NBC when asked whethe♎r IndyCar star Colton Herta could be an option.

“From our standpoint, I thin♏k the play at the beginning would be to have one experienced driver♛ -nationality doesn’t matter – and then a young American talent.

“These are the objectives at the moment.”

Perez or Bottas?

Joining Perez on the F1 sidelines this year is 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas, who has returned to Merc🎶edes as a reserve driver following his Sauber axe.

The 10-time grand prix winner is seen as another est⛄ablished F1 driver who could be on Cadillac’s radar.

But accord🍰ing to Mar💮ca, Perez’s significant sponsorship could hand him the edge over the Finn.

Marca say Perez is one of the “few drivers whℱo can say that he contributes to filling four circ🍒uits, such as Mexico, Austin, Miami and Las Vegas.”

Perez’s backers - including Carlos Slim - are set to follow him wherever he e💎ventually ends up, the repo🅷rt adds. 

🧜Former Haas team principal Guenther Steiner recently identified Perez👍 as a candidate for Cadillac. 

“If you’re Cadillac, you need somebody experienced. Checo has been in quite a few teams for a long time. He knows his way෴ around. He could be a big help,” Steiner told GPBlog.

"Maybe put him on a one-year contract. It’s a lot better than having old rookies in there. That’s an opportunity for Ch🍷eco⛎.”
