Sergio Perez is "pretty relaxed" about the Cadillac F1 sale rumours
Sergio Perez said that he is “pretty relaxed” about the Cadillac F1 situation after rumours emerged online of a potential partial sale of the team.
The speculation focuses on TWG’s stake in the new Formula 1 outfit, but Perez has no cause for concern. He did though, call for Cadillac F1 to keep its focus on the track and move forward despite this noise off the circuit.
Sergio Perez ‘pretty relaxed’ about Cadillac F1 rumours
Cadillac F1 arrived on the Formula 1 grid in 2026, a team backed by American automotive giant General Motors and TWG Motorsports, a subsidiary of TWG Global.
Dan Towriss is the CEO of Cadillac F1 and TWG Motorsports.
However, ahead of the Brazilian Grand Prix, talk began doing the rounds online that TWG Global founder Mark Walter could continue the selling off of his sporting assets by offloading a controlling stake in the Cadillac F1 team.
Perez was quizzed at Interlagos about the rumours, considering that he has just signed a new multi-year Cadillac deal, keeping him with the team for at least the next three seasons.
Asked whether he had spoken to the team, he said: “Yeah. I’m pretty relaxed about it.
“I know who is behind the project. I mean, GM is one of the biggest manufacturers currently in Formula 1. I don’t think they will have any problems, and the other one is Dan, TWG.
“I don’t know if they want to get some of their investment back or something like that. But I don’t think it will change any structure at all.
“For me, the most important thing is that the team focuses on racing. We have a lot to do, a lot to improve, and there are some crucial months for the team in regards to the preparation for next year.
“So, I think the more distractions we avoid, the better, and we focus on track. The rest is for the team bosses.”

While Cadillac has spent much of F1 2026 at the back of the grid, Perez put in an impressive performance last time out on home soil in Mexico.
Yet to score a point, Perez looked in strong contention to open the Cadillac account, but a slow pit-stop and five-second penalty, received for pit-lane speeding, dashed those hopes.
Nonetheless, Perez believes that Cadillac can become a true “headache” to rivals when some further performance is unlocked.
Asked if he took the positives from his Mexico performance, Perez confirmed: “Yeah, I think we’ve seen it all year long. I think when we get the car, a more competitive package, we will be really, really good.
“I think I’m driving really well. The team operationally wasn’t a strong weekend, but we’re getting stronger operationally. So yeah, it’s just a matter of having a little bit of a better package, and we will be a bit of a headache.”
