The name of Checo Pérez remains in the air as a possible signing for the American team Cadillac for its debut in Formula 1 in 2026. During the Miami Grand Prix, Cadillac F1 advisor Mario Andretti emphasized that no driver will be introduced as part of the team's presentation.
José Antonio Cortés from ESPN shared that Andretti was clear in stating that there will be no driver reveal at the Miami event. This position was supported by Gisselle Zarur, who stated that the presentation will focus exclusively on the team, not on the drivers.
Despite this official stance, the expectation surrounding Sergio ‘Checo’ Pérez’s future has significantly increased following a social media message from his father, Antonio Pérez Garibay, hinting at a possible agreement with Cadillac. The message that triggered the rumors was interpreted as a symbolic confirmation of the signing.
Garibay's post was accompanied by a video showing Checo boarding a private plane, generating speculation about his union with Cadillac. Although it was expected that the Miami Grand Prix would be the venue for an official announcement, specialized reporters have dismissed the possibility of Checo being introduced as a Cadillac driver this weekend.
