Peres: I proved to myself that I deserve a place in Formula 1.

      Sergio Perez believes that in the early races of the 2026 season, he demonstrated that he is still one of the best modern Formula 1 drivers. However, the mistakes made by Cadillac during the race weekends, due to the team's lack of experience, prevent the Mexican driver from fully realizing his potential.

      Sergio Perez: "I think we still lack efficiency in the team's work, and we are not achieving the progress we could be making. Therefore, we need to focus on maximizing the potential of the car.

      Right now, I am frustrated precisely because of how the team is functioning. We need to improve this very urgently because we are not achieving the best possible results. But the team is making progress in this direction, and that is very positive. However, in terms of organizational work, we are still seriously lagging behind, and we need to find a solution before the start of the European part of the season in Monaco.

      I am very satisfied with my performances and my level of driving. I am glad that I returned and proved to myself that I still deserve a place among the best. I really enjoy what I do, and I am very pleased with how I am driving right now."

      Sergio Perez and Cadillac have not yet scored points, but the driver hopes he will have chances in Monaco: "Monaco always has special races. Anything can happen there, so I hope we can perform strongly."
