Sergio Perez is reportedly in talks with a Formula One team over a full-time return after the Mexican driver previously left Red Bull. Just two months ago, the six-time Grands Prix winner announced his exit following a poor 2024 season, with 224 points behind colleague Max Verstappen in the standings. Furthermore, Perez did not finish among the top five drivers at any of his six Grand Prix racing last term.

His dissapointing results meant that he and Verstappen could not win the Constructors' Championship last year, despite the Dutchman's victory in the Drivers' Championship. However, according to Spanish outlet Marca, Perez is set for a new start and is in talks with Formula One team Cadillac over a return for their entry in 2026. It is understood that the Mexican already has had contacts with his potential team, who are eager to bring an experienced driver as a 'priority'.

Formula One icon Sergio Perez is reportedly in talks with Cadillac over a shock return to the grid. The news emerged just two months after Perez announced his Red Bull exit following a dissapointing 2024 season. According to reports, the Cadillac team - which will enter the grid in 2026 - is in search for an experienced driver. The report emerged after it had been confirmed that Cadillac had reached an agreement with US giant General Motors for their Formula One entry.
They became the 11th team to join the grid despite the fact that they will not be allowed to produce their own engines until 2028. The Cadillac team will have to buy a customer engine, although it is understood that there were talks held with Ferrari. However, Perez has not won a race since April 2023, while his colleague Verstappen beat him in all four seasons, claiming four world championship titles.
