Sergio Perez is looking for new projects in Motorsport. The Mexican allegedly flirts this year with a start at a traditional race, in which Mick Schumacher also wants to ride for victory. Then it should go back to the premier class, the plan said.
This change would have tough: Sergio Perez could possibly be accommodated in the long -distance world championship in the 2025 season, reports the Spanish “Marca”.
According to this, the 34-year-old’s 34-year-old is an option in the 24 hours of Le Mans, possibly in the GT category. Mick Schumacher also starts there this year, the 25-year-old is under contract with Alpine. Which racing team could join Perez, however, does not show from the report.
A clear goal of the long-standing Formula 1 pilot is soon a return to the premier class. Sergio Perez had lost his regular cockpit at Red Bull for the new season, although he had signed a new contract until 2026 a few months earlier.
Is Perez favorite at Cadillac?
But the partly catastrophic achievements last year made the Red Bull bosses to revise their decision. Liam Lawson is now running alongside Max Verstappen. Also at sister racing stable Racing Bulls there was no place for the Mexican, where, in addition to Yuki Tsunoda, the Rookie Isack Hadjar can gain first experience in the premier class.
According to “Marca”, the Perez camp is already pursuing a precise plan on how to return to Formula 1. The main hopes are that the new Cadillac racing team bites and will put its services from 2026.
Colton Horta is considered to be the desired solution for one of the two seats, and an experienced pilot should also bring the necessary stability. The Swede Marcus Ericsson, who will complete test drives for Cadillac this year, is also considered an option.
“Favorite”, according to the sports newspaper, is Sergio Perez, who can also continue to rely on the financial support of his sponsor Carlos Slim. The entrepreneur has been a great sponsor of the motorsport for years.
