Sergio Perez Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Sergio Perez’s story over the past few days has been all about what comes next, not what was lost. Formula1.com recently sat down with him at Cadillac’s Silverstone base, where he described how a year away from the grid after his difficult Red Bull exit helped him fall back in love with Formula 1. In that interview, he called the Cadillac move his final big project in the sport and said he now has the energy and perspective to enjoy his last chapter rather than simply survive it, stressing that he wants to leave F1 with what he called a big smile and a lot of respect for a sport that gave him everything.
On the pure racing side, Cadillac’s F1 programme has taken a concrete step that could shape Perez’s results for years. GPFans reports that Cadillac have now assigned him an experienced race engineer, former Aston Martin performance engineer Carlo Pasetti, a key appointment given how crucial that relationship is for strategy, setup direction, and in car radio guidance during races. For a 2026 expansion team, pairing Perez’s experience with a proven engineer is one of the most significant long term developments in his current career arc.
But it is not all comfort. Roundtable.io reports that Perez has effectively received a warning shot over his future seat, with young American star Colton Herta being publicly linked to Cadillac’s long term plans through official Formula 2 messaging. That linkage has been widely read in the paddock as a sign that while Perez is central to Cadillac’s launch, his security beyond the first phase of the project will depend squarely on performance. This is informed speculation rather than a confirmed decision, but it reflects the ruthless reality Perez knows well from his Red Bull years.
In public appearances, Perez has also been reflecting more openly on his past. GPBlog and F1 Oversteer highlight comments from a recent EXMA event in which he said his Red Bull stint was not actually the hardest period of his career, underlining how long and complex his path through Sauber, McLaren, Force India, Racing Point, and Red Bull has been. That nuance matters for his biography because it frames Cadillac not as a rescue, but as a conscious final act by a veteran who has already weathered deeper lows.
For now, his social media presence has stayed relatively controlled and professional, amplifying official Cadillac and GM content and leaning into the narrative of preparation, simulator work, and quiet graft rather than drama. There are no credible reports of major off track controversies in the past few days, and any wild transfer rumors beyond the Cadillac project should be treated as speculation unless backed by team or series statements.
