Sergio Perez backed for F1 return as rookie looks to build Max Verstappen relationship
Isack Hadjar confidently believes that there will be a spot for Sergio Perez on the F1 grid next season. Perez has been inactive in motorsport since parting ways with Red Bull last year after contributing to their constructors’ championships in 2022 and 2023. Rumors strongly suggest Perez is in contention for seats at Cadillac, the newly joining 11th team in F1. The expected lineup includes Perez and Valtteri Bottas, with Zhou Guanyu also in the mix. Hadjar, a newcomer at Racing Bulls, praises Perez’s F1 capabilities and the likelihood of his return, citing positive feedback about his future prospects. He firmly states that there is a rightful place in F1 for “Checo,” who has demonstrated his skills alongside Max Verstappen.
