The IndyCar Series has been a common destination for longtime Formula 1 veterans, notably the likes of Marcus Ericsson — winner of the 2022 Indianapolis 500 — and Romain Grosjean. There has even been a fever craze, of sorts, as Pato O’Ward reignited the flame of support from Mexican fans in North America’s premier open-wheel championship. But Sergio Perez has no interest in a switch to the IndyCar Series whenever his time comes to an end in Formula 1.
The 34-year-old Mexican, who drives for Red Bull Racing alongside newly-crowned four-time world champion Max Verstappen, signed an extension back in June to remain with the team through 2026. However, the new deal has come under fire after having since scored six finishes outside of points-paying positions, including two retirements, and only a best result of sixth at the Dutch Grand Prix.
