Overview
- Sergio 'Checo' Pérez rejoined Formula 1 with the new Cadillac team to act as a senior leader and help develop the car and organization.
- Pérez says he is satisfied with his driving level and calls himself “one of the best,” but he has not yet turned that form into championship points for Cadillac.
- He failed to finish the Canadian Grand Prix and has singled out operational problems in both qualifying and races as the main reason the team is not maximising results.
- Cadillac’s team principal has publicly denied claims that Pérez or teammate Valtteri Bottas will leave the team, and the club says both drivers remain part of its development plan.
- The start of the European swing, beginning with Monaco, will serve as an early test of whether Cadillac can improve pit procedures, trackside operations and reliability fast enough to show measurable progress.
