Sergio Perez has signed a new multi-year contract with Cadillac that will keep him with the team until at least the end of 2029. The Mexican driver extended his deal by two years ahead of his home race at the Mexico City Grand Prix, where he will celebrate his 300th grand prix start. Perez, 36, joined Cadillac after being dropped by Red Bull at the end of 2024, and has outperformed teammate Valtteri Bottas in their first season together. He is the third most experienced driver on the grid, behind only Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton, and will be 39 by the end of this new contract.
Cadillac CEO Dan Towriss praised Perez's leadership and commitment, saying his continuity is vital as the team builds on its first-year foundation. Perez expressed gratitude to TWG Motorsports and General Motors, thanking fans and team members for their support. He emphasized the long-term journey of building a competitive F1 team and remains fully committed for the next three years. With Alonso and Hamilton racing into their 40s, Perez may follow suit, extending his career well beyond 2029.
