Sergio Pérez will return to Formula One only if a project appeals to him. The Mexican driver has been without a confirmed seat since Red Bull parted ways with him at the end of 2024.
What happened?
Pérez has nearly 15 years of premier class experience, making him an attractive option for teams like Alpine and Cadillac.
He has been in talks with Alpine for a potential 2025 seat, but has ruled out a comeback this year.
Why it matters for Sergio Pérez
Pérez wants to be part of a team with a winning mentality, citing his time with Force India and Red Bull as examples.
He believes his experience would be an asset to a new team like Cadillac, which is considering an experienced driver for its debut lineup.

What comes next?
Pérez will make a decision on his future when the time is right, with rumors suggesting he could be part of Cadillac's historic debut in 2025.
He has set a clear condition for his return: the project must appeal to him, and he will not settle for a reserve driver role.
As the season progresses, things will become clearer for Pérez, who is focused on finding the right environment to motivate him.
Pérez's experience and skills make him a strong candidate for a team looking to push forward and become a winning team.
The Mexican driver's career has been marked by notable achievements, including his time with Force India and Red Bull.
