Sergio Perez, the Mexican racing ace now steering Cadillacs shiny new Formula 1 machine, has been turning heads in the opening rounds of the 2026 season with a gritty debut thats already whispering of comeback glory. After three races down under in Australia, China, and Japan, Perez has nailed every chequered flag, including the sprint, proving Cadillacs reliability is no fluke as Formula1.com reports the team exceeding expectations for a grid newcomer powered by Ferrari engines.

Perez himself told the paddock post-Japan, per Formula1.com, "Weve made a lot of progress in a short space of time, and we can be happy to get two cars past the finish yet again," putting team before personal glory in a classy nod to their honeymoon phase.
