Sergio Perez explained that his decision to join the new Cadillac Formula 1 effort stems from a personal drive to demonstrate he remains one of the sport’s top drivers. The statement follows a mentally draining conclusion to his stint at Red Bull, which he described as a “toxic” six‑month period.
Needing a break, Perez took a full year away from competition to recover and reassess his career. The hiatus gave him space to reset before committing to the freshly‑formed Cadillac team, which is still building its package for the upcoming season.
Looking ahead, Perez aims to challenge the established front‑runners and help Cadillac prove its competitiveness on the grid, making his performance a key storyline for the next championship year.
