October 28, 2026 — Mexico City, Mexico — TheCadillac Formula 1® Team today confirmed that Sergio “Checo’’ Pérez will continue with the U.S. team with a multi-year contract extension, committing to the American project until at least 2029.
The agreement reinforces a shared long-term ambition between the six-time Grand Prix winner from Mexico and Cadillac Formula 1® Team to build a competitive team at the pinnacle of global motorsport.
Checo has brought invaluable experience, talent and leadership to the team during its historic inaugural season on the grid.

“Joining Cadillac Formula 1® Team from day one was a project I truly believed in, and extending my commitment feels like a natural continuation of this chapter,” said Checo. “Building a Formula 1 team from the ground up takes time, relentless work and patience, but the progress we are making together is incredibly rewarding. There is still a lot of work ahead of us and I am fully committed for the next three years.
“I want to thank Dan (Towriss), Mark (Reuss), and everyone at TWG Motorsports and General Motors for the opportunity to build on what we have started together. To every member of this special team, at the track, in the U.S., the U.K., and our fans, thank you for your support and trust. I won’t let you down. Let’s keep pushing!”
