Cadillac maintains that Perez will remain with the team despite speculation regarding Williams.
"Checo is a valuable asset to the team."
Cadillac asserts that Sergio Perez will continue with the team in 2027, despite increasing rumors connecting the Mexican driver to Williams. While his progress has often been criticized, Perez has clearly been Cadillac’s standout performer this season, in contrast to Valtteri Bottas, who has faced more difficulties. With Carlos Sainz contemplating his future at Williams, Perez has been mentioned as a potential replacement if that seat becomes available. Cadillac CEO Dan Towriss dismissed these rumors. "Checo is an extraordinary asset to our team. I am confident that he will remain with Cadillac, and we will not be swayed by speculation." "We have strong faith in our partnership with Checo, and he will be driving for Cadillac next year." New team principal Marcin Budkowski is also eager to keep the former Red Bull driver. "Checo is a significant asset to the team, and both drivers are, in fact, very important," he stated. "I believe that having such experience and stability is vital for a young team. If both the driver and the team are learning simultaneously, it introduces too many variables." "Thus, in my view, having a driver like Checo is essential." Meanwhile, Ferrari junior Rafael Camara and Cadillac-supported Colton Herta have both been associated with potential future seats. "The rumors are entirely baseless," said Towriss regarding Camara. "We are pleased with our drivers' performance. Discussions about replacing a driver are not happening right now." Herta, who is currently competing in Formula 2 to earn the necessary Super Licence points for F1, acknowledges that Cadillac has made no commitments to him. "I’ll be truthful about my ambitions: I want to reach Formula 1 as quickly as I can." "No one has assured me of anything yet, so I’m uncertain about how realistic that is."
