Sergio Perez won’t return “at any cost”, lays out key condition for F1 drive
Sergio Perez is interested in returning to the F1 grid in 2026, but he emphasizes that he won’t make a comeback “at any cost.” Following a disappointing performance in the 2024 season, Perez was replaced by Red Bull after scoring only eight points in the final races. He was left without a drive for the 2025 season after being let go by Red Bull. Perez is seen as a key player in the upcoming driver market, with rumors connecting him to teams like Alpine and Cadillac. Despite interest from Cadillac, Perez is in no rush to make a decision and is looking for the right project to feel truly motivated and invested in. Ultimately, Perez wants to return to F1 but only if the circumstances align with his expectations and dedication to the sport.
