Former F1 steward Johnny Herbert believes 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez would be the “perfect fit” for Cadillac in 2026.

Perez is a free agent after Red Bu🔴ll dropped him at the end of last s🌳eason.

The Mexican endured a disappointin𓄧g final year with the team, finishing 💮eighth in the drivers’ championship.

Perez’s form was so poor that it cos൲t Red🧜 Bull the constructors’ championship.

Perez’s stock has likely risen in recent w🅰eeks, though, given the struggles oꦬf Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda alongside Verstappen.

The 35-year-old is keen to return to the grid in 2026, revealing that he’s held talks wi♔th several teams.

Cadillac will become F1’s ♓11th team next year - and Perez i🧔s one of a number of options.

“It wasn’t perfect. He didn’t win a championship, but he did show that he had some raw p🦹ace. The consistency was probably the only thing that was lacking compared to Max.

“He’d be good for Cadillac, a good driver to have on board for Cadillac because, coming into the sport, they’ll have someone with that expe♔rienc👍e which would only benefit them, in the car, in the factory and also in the various American markets.

“That’s something I’m sure that has been ta🃏ken into consideration, but it’s also the passion that Sergio has.

“It’s not as if he’s just gone away and said, right, that’s it. He’s still got the fire in his stomach for Fꦜormula One. That’s good 🎀to see. And I think it would be a perfect fit.”

Cadillac’s options for 2026

Besides Perez, Cadillac have several options to choose🍬 from.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas is desperate to make a comeback after he missed out on the sec💝ond S൲auber seat to Gabriel Bortoleto.

Bottas is currently Mercedes third driver, and he’s curren🎐tly mentoring Kimi Antonelli.

Zhou Guanyu is also a possible option.​​

The Chinese driver is a🐭 Ferr𓆏ari reserve driver for this year.

Cadillac will lik𒁃ely want an American driver in one of the seats, and Colton H🍰erta's name has been frequently mentioned.
