Cadillac Extends Perez Deal Through 2029
Tap title to read story
Sergio Perez has secured a contract extension with Formula One’s newest team Cadillac, keeping his seat through the end of the decade. Perez and teammate Valtteri Bottas joined Cadillac for the season on multi‑year contracts, though these were not expected to last beyond 2027. Unlike Bottas, there has been no doubt about Perez staying next year, and Cadillac emphasized its commitment by announcing a new deal on the eve of his home race, the Mexican Grand Prix. The contract runs until at least 2029, including that season. Perez will record his 300th F1 start this weekend, becoming the seventh driver to reach that milestone. The extension positions him to overtake several former leaders on the all‑time starts leaderboard, placing him behind only Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton.
