Perez Extends Cadillac Contract Until 2029

Cadillac said the 36-year-old Mexican will lead its F1 program for at least three more years as the team builds toward 2029.

  • On Wednesday, Cadillac confirmed that Sergio Perez signed a contract extension through 2029, coinciding with his 300th Grand Prix start at his home race in Mexico City this weekend.
  • Team CEO Dan Towriss said securing the veteran's "talent and leadership" provides necessary continuity while refining trackside operations across hubs in Silverstone, Indianapolis, and Charlotte.
  • Despite the three-year duration, the agreement grants Perez contractual freedom to conclude his career at any point, a move he called a "natural continuation" of his commitment to the project.
  • With Perez confirmed, uncertainty surrounds the second seat as Valtteri Bottas faces competition from Colton Herta for the 2027 lineup, though team sources prefer Bottas's stability.
  • Herta requires only one more FIA Super Licence point to become eligible for Formula 1, which he is set to earn during an FP1 appearance in Mexico this weekend.
