Sergio Perez has faced a difficult 2026 season with the Cadillac Formula 1 team, which has struggled to secure championship points. During the Singapore Grand Prix weekend, Perez described the event as a “last chance” for the General Motors-backed project to score points, noting the team arrived without new updates. His weekend included a crash during Sprint Qualifying that resulted in a 20th-place finish. Following the Singapore Grand Prix, where he finished 17th, Perez criticized the current F1 budget cap regulations. He argued that the cap disproportionately disadvantages newer and smaller teams by widening the gap between them and established top-tier teams. While the team focuses on developing a chassis for 2027, Perez is looking toward the Mexico City Grand Prix, which may mark his 300th Formula 1 start. Despite the team being the only entry yet to score points in 2026, Perez has rejected claims that this is the worst season of his career. He noted that while raw results do not reflect his performance, his driving level and confidence remain high. He highlighted that his best results this year include 14th-place finishes in Barcelona and Silverstone, as well as a tenth-place finish in Monaco that was ultimately disqualified due to penalties. He attributed the team's struggles to reliability and overheating issues.
