P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Sergio Perez had his Red Bull contract terminated late last year, leaving his F1 future in the balance – but that may be about to change.
Sergio Perez is in talks with the Cadillac F1 project for a potential comeback to the Formula 1 grid in 2026 after parting ways with Red Bull just two months earlier. The American team is seeking experienced drivers, making Perez an ideal candidate due to his 14-year F1 career and six grand prix wins. Despite the progress in negotiations and a power unit supply deal with Ferrari, final confirmation from FOM and the FIA for Cadillac’s 2026 participation is still pending. The team, which has been rapidly expanding, is yet to finalize its 2026 entry document, suggesting a deal between Perez and Cadillac may not happen until confirmation is received. As discussions between Perez and Cadillac continue, the possibility of the Mexican driver lining up for the American team in F1 appears to be a realistic prospect for the next season.
