Former Haas F1 boss Guenther Steiner sees 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez as a great option for Cadillac ꩲin 2026, stating “he could be a big help”.

🎃Ca🌟dillac are set to join the grid in 2026 as F1’s 11th team.

They’ve already confirmed Graeme Lowdon as team pr📖incipal, and they will run Ferrari engines until the end of the d🍨ecade as General Motors prepare their own power unit.

Driver-wise, Cadillac have several great option𒀰s for 2026.

Perez is out of contract following Red Bull’s decision to ditch him for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Liam Lawson.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas is also ♑available after missing out on th🌺e Sauber seat, as is Zhou Guanyu.

Speaking t😼o , Steiner explaꦑined why Perez would make sense.

“If you’re Cadillac, you need somebody experienced. Checo has been in quite a few teams for a long time. He knows 🅷his way around. He could be a big help,” Stein⛦er said.

“Maybe put him on a one-year contrac✤t. It’s a lot betꦗter than having old rookies in there. That’s an opportunity for Checo.”

Perez “overdelivered as an underdog”

While Perez’s Red Bull t🅰enure was generally unsuccessful, prior to it, he built up a reputation as F1’s king of the midfield.

The Mexican often over-performed in ter⛦ms of results, with a number of podium finishes to his name in midfield machinery.

Perez’s reputation before joining Red Bull was sky-high, winning th💙e 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix.

Given how 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly’s reputations have🌠 been restored since leaving Red Bull, the 🍬same could happen to Perez.

Steiner added: “Wait a moment. I don’t want to be cynical here. He was up at the front of the grid l𝓡🎐ast year.

“We need to be realistic. Fighting for one point because the car cannot be ♛better is one thing, but fighting for one point when your teammate with the same car is winning race🍸s puts you in a different headspace, it’s a different pressure.

“Checo was very good when he was at Force💎 India Racing, whatever it wa꧒s called, Racing Point.

“He always over delivered as an underdog. He couldn’t keep up with the pressure of the top team. So maybe it’s his comfort zone where he has not got that pressure 🥂to need to show that he’s good by winning, by showing that﷽ I can make a point, maybe that maybe puts him in a better place.”
