Formula 1 star Pérez considers early retirement amid Cadillac project
Pérez said Cadillac’s Formula 1 project needs more time and that family priorities are pushing him toward an early exit.
- On Tuesday, Formula 1 driver Sergio 'Checo' Pérez said he is considering early retirement, noting that bringing the new Cadillac team into a competitive role will take time.
- The 36-year-old Pérez returned to Formula 1 this season with Cadillac after Red Bull dropped him, though the team is currently at the bottom of the constructors' championship with zero points.
- Pérez explained that a key reason for considering retirement is wanting to spend more time with his wife, Carola Martínez, and their four children, stating, "What really holds me back is my kids."
- For now, Pérez is gearing up to compete in the United States Grand Prix later this week before heading to his home race, the Mexican Grand Prix, where he will reach 300 Formula 1 starts.
- Pérez said he is excited about projects outside motorsport and wants to finish his Formula 1 career on a high note, expecting to announce his retirement timeline soon.
