Although a few months ago we didn't see much chance of this, at this point it is increasingly likely that Sergio Perez's Formula 1 career will not end, but only be interrupted.
It is clear that if there is a chance for the driver, it is with the new Cadillac team, which is currently still awaiting official approval from the FOM and the FIA. However, behind the scenes, work is underway intensively at all levels, 2026 is very close, and, as we know, no single-seater takes part without a driver. On this basis, Sergio Perez appears on the scene, who apparently is not idle and already has advanced negotiations with the Andretti team. The Americans, as newcomers, certainly emphasize experience, being led by this by collaborating with Ferrari on the engine, before General Motors takes over this area and the team in 2028. For Cadillac, the American influence is essential, not only in terms of the name, but also in terms of the financial fundamentals and the identity of the drivers, thinking locally.
The Andretti family will have a big role in choosing the driver lineup, and it is well known that Perez and his team have a good relationship with them. Therefore, those who bet on the Sergio Perez - Colton Herta duo, who enjoy immense popularity abroad, are not taking a big risk.
