Sergio Perez has claimed that he has “nothing to prove” after his unceremonious Red Bull exit as he gears up to debut for Cadillac in F1.
Sergio Perez stated that he has “nothing to prove” following his departure from Red Bull and is preparing to make his debut for Cadillac in Formula 1. He hoped to continue with Red Bull into 2025 and the regulatory reset in 2026, but struggles with the RB20 led to a separation.
The decision left Perez without a seat for this season, but he is set to join Cadillac alongside Valtteri Bottas for their debut season next year. Perez emphasized that he does not intend to carry any baggage from his Red Bull tenure to Cadillac, feeling there is “nothing to prove” based on his previous performances.
Perez highlighted the challenges of adapting in a volatile environment like Red Bull and expressed excitement for the unique opportunity at Cadillac. The new team, supported by General Motors, aims to transition from a Ferrari customer team to a works outfit by 2028.
Despite not aiming for immediate success, Perez sees his return to F1 with Cadillac as a chance to enjoy the sport and embark on a different kind of racing project.
