Former F1 steward Johnny Herbert believes 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez would be the “perfect fit” for Cadillac in 2026.

Perez is a free a💖gent after Red Bull dr🍷opped him at the end of last season.

The Mexican endured a ꦑdisappointing final year with the team, finishing eighth in the🍌 drivers’ championship.

P꧒erez’s form was so poor that it c♌ost Red Bull the constructors’ championship.

Perez’s st🔯ock has likely risen in recent weeks, though, g🥃iven the struggles of Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda alongside Verstappen.

The 35-year-old is keen to return to th𓄧e grid in 2026, revealing that he’s held talks with several teams.

Cadillac will become F1’s 11th team next year - and Per🐽ez is one of a number of options.

“It wasn’t perf🍎ect. He didn’t win a championship, but he did show that he had some raw pace. The consistency was p♈robably the only thing that was lacking compared to Max.

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

“That’ꦦs 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, right, that༺’s it. He’s still got the fire in his stomach for Formula One. That’s good to see. And I t🌟hink it would be a perfect fit.”

Cadillac’s options for 2026

Besides Perez, Cadillac have several options t🤡o choose from.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Valtteri Bottas is desperate to make a comeback after he missed out on the second Sauber seat ꦉto Gabriel Bortoleto.

Bottas is currently 💯Mercede꧅s third driver, and he’s currently mentoring Kimi Antonelli.

Zhou Guanyu is also a possible option.​​

The Chinese driver is a Ferrari reserve dri🍸ver for this year.

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