Former F1 steward Johnny Herbert believes 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez would be the “perfect fit” for Cadillac in 2026.

Perez is a 🔴free agent after Red B▨ull dropped him at the end of last season.

The Mexican endured a disappointing final year w🐓ith the team, finishing eighth in the driv♔ers’ championship.

Perez’s form was so 🧜poor that it cost Red Bull the constructors’ champ♑ionship.

Perez’s stock has likely risen in recent weeks, tﷺhough, given the struggles of Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsuꦓnoda alongside Verstappen.

The 35-🎐year-old is keen to return to the grid in 2026, revealing that he’s held talks with seve🃏ral teams.

Cadꦚillac will become F1’s 11th team next year - and Perez is one of a number of options.

“It wasn’t perfect. He didn’t win a championship, but he did show that he had some raw pace. The consistency was probably the on❀ly thing that was lacking compared toღ Max.

“He’d be good for Cadillac, a good driver to have on board for Cadillac because, coming into the sport, they’ll have someone with that experience which would o🐷nly benefit them, in the car, in the factory and also in the various American markets.

“That’s something I’m sure that has been taken into 🤪consideration, but it’s also the passion that Sergio has.

“It’s not as if he’s just gone away and said, ri☂ght, that’s it. He’s still got the fire in his stomach for Formula One. That’s good to see. And I think it would be a perfect 𒁏fit.”

Cadillac’s options for 2026

Besides Perez, Cadillac have sever𝓡al opꦏtions to choose from.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas is desperate to make a comeback after he missed out on the♒ second Sauber seat to🤡 Gabriel Bortoleto.

Bottas𓄧 is currently Mercedes third driver, and he’s curre💃ntly mentoring Kimi Antonelli.

Zhou Guanyu is also a possible option.​​

The Chinese driver is a Fꦦerrari reserve driver for this yea꧃r.

Cadillac will likely want an American driver in one of the seats, and Colton Herta's name♕ has been frequently mentioned.
