Sergio Perez reckons that he has "maybe three more years" before he reaches his sell-by date in Formula 1, and wants to devote that to helping the Cadillac project move forward.
The Mexican found himself out of F1 at the end of 2024 when he was released by Red Bull, following a difficult campaign. This had its genesis in 2023; although Perez finished second in that season's championship, his form had declined after the year started brightly. He dropped to eighth overall in 2024, scoring just four podium finishes.
