Sergio Perez provides social media update as Cadillac F1 return rumours swirl
Sergio Perez has been sharing updates on his summer activities on social media amidst growing speculation about his potential return to F1 with Cadillac. Red Bull released Perez at the end of last year after a series of disappointing performances. Despite taking a break from F1 spotlight, Perez remains a key figure in the driver market. Reports suggest Alpine is considering Perez as a replacement for Franco Colapinto in 2026. However, a comeback with Cadillac appears more probable. The Race indicates Perez is poised to partner with Valtteri Bottas to create Cadillac’s inaugural F1 driver lineup. Perez and Bottas, both race winners, would bring experience to the American team. While not dropping direct hints about Cadillac in his recent Instagram post, Perez continues his training and family time. Sauber’s recent past showcases that a blend of experienced and rookie drivers can be successful, as seen with Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto. Cadillac’s focus on experienced drivers for their debut season seems prudent considering their overall goals. The duo of Bottas and Perez, if confirmed, could provide stability and valuable input to Cadillac in their inaugural F1 campaign.
