About this listen
Sergio Perez is making waves as he prepares for his highly anticipated return to Formula 1 with Cadillac in 2026. The 35-year-old Mexican driver has been far from quiet during his off-season, staying firmly in the public eye through a mix of celebrity appearances, team preparation work, and maintaining his massive fanbase.
Most recently, Perez sent fans into a frenzy when he joined superstar Enrique Iglesias on stage at a concert in his hometown of Guadalajara. Videos went viral showing the F1 driver singing along to Iglesias' hits while waving his arms to energize the crowd. In a remarkable moment, Iglesias even got down on one knee to bow before Perez in a sign of respect, showcasing just how beloved the racing star remains in Mexico. GPFans reports that Perez, who remains Latin America's most popular F1 driver, continues to draw fierce support from his loyal fans.
Behind the scenes, Perez has already begun working with Cadillac on preparations for their 2026 debut. According to Motorsport, the Mexican driver started collaborating with the team in recent weeks, participating in race weekend simulations from mission control rooms at Cadillac's Silverstone and Charlotte bases. The team has been running these simulations since June's Barcelona round, with Perez joining simulator drivers Simon Pagenaud, Charlie Eastwood, and Pietro Fittipaldi.
Grandprix reports that Perez is expected to participate in upcoming testing sessions with Ferrari's loaned car, possibly in November or December. Team principal Graham Lowdon confirmed that Cadillac will definitely be testing before year's end, with Ferrari providing either their 2023 SF-23 or 2019 SF90 model along with technical support. This marks Cadillac's first live systems check ahead of their historic F1 entry.
The upcoming Mexican Grand Prix later this month at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez will be bittersweet for fans, as they'll have to wait until 2026 to see their hometown hero back on track. Perez joins Valtteri Bottas at Cadillac on multi-year contracts, bringing his 15 seasons of F1 experience to the American team.
