Mexican driver Sergio "Checo" Pérez has generated great expectation among his followers following the confirmation of his possible return to Formula 1 with Cadillac. Although no official announcement has been made by the American team, various rumors indicate that an agreement exists for Checo to be the number one driver for the team in the next season.
It was speculated that young driver Colton Herta would take that main position at Cadillac, leaving Pérez in a secondary role. However, Checo's experience and recognition in Latin America and the United States may have been decisive for the brand to choose him, also considering the possibility of significant sponsorships accompanying his arrival to the team.
Checo Pérez had recently revealed that he was in negotiations with several teams interested in his talent, ultimately choosing Cadillac for the offer to be the number one driver. His return to Formula 1 has been a subject of speculation, especially after the brand unveiled its image during the Miami Grand Prix.
Driver Luis Diaz hinted in an interview during the Speed Fest at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez that Checo Pérez would return to the tracks of the highest category of motorsports in 2026 with Cadillac, although no official announcement has been made yet. His words carry more weight as he is a member of the Telmex team and has a close relationship with Checo, later attempting to clarify his statement after realizing he had given a scoop.
