Perez says he wants to stay with Cadillac despite other team talks

Sergio Perez said his management had conversations with other Formula 1 teams about a potential switch for 2027. However, he made clear that he wants to remain with Cadillac and continue helping the team move forward.

The reports said there had been rumours that Perez's management was in contact with Williams over a possible seat if Carlos Sainz chose to leave. That scenario did not develop, as Sainz subsequently signed a multi-year extension with the Grove-based team.

Separately, PlanetF1 raised questions about how Graeme Lowdon's departure as Cadillac team principal could affect Valtteri Bottas. No further confirmed details on that impact were provided in the material here.
