PEREZ FEELS COMEBACK PROVES HE IS ‘ONE OF THE BEST’ IN F1

Sergio Perez is staking his claim as "one of the best" drivers in F1, asserting his comeback with the American Cadillac team has proven his worth. After a year on the sidelines in 2025, Perez joined the new-for-2026 outfit, which initially struggled at the back. However, significant upgrades deployed at the Miami Grand Prix have since propelled Cadillac into the midfield fight.

Perez showcased this progress in Canada, confidently leading the American team's charge. He narrowly missed Sprint Q2 and climbed to 11th in the Sprint race with aggressive tire strategy and fierce wheel-to-wheel racing. Despite a suspension failure ending his Grand Prix while battling Haas, Perez feels his driving level is high and the team made a "massive step." Yet, he's impatient for Cadillac to "clean up" trackside operations, noting they aren't maximizing results. The focus now shifts to Monaco, where Cadillac will aim for a strong, clean performance.
