Sergio Perez backed for personal upgrade after F1 form revival

A majority of F1 fans believe Sergio Perez is worthy of an F1 seat
higher up the pecking order following his strong start to the 2026
season. Perez was dropped from the field at the end of the 2024
season following a miserable campaign with Red Bull alongside Max
Verstappen. However, he returned this year to form part of the
Cadillac F1 line-up as the American squad embarked on its maiden
campaign. The Mexican has consistently outperformed team-mate
Valtteri Bottas across the opening rounds, leading him 5-2 in the
head-to-head metrics for both qualifying and race finishes.
RacingNews365 understands that Perez is being looked at by several
teams amid his run of impressive performances. We asked you, the F1
fans, if Perez is worthy of a drive higher up the pecking order
with another team, while taking nothing away from the impressive
job Cadillac has done to get itself on the grid this year. Over 80
per cent of fans believe the Mexican is worthy of a seat higher up
the order, with 45 per cent stating he should be in a top four
team. Less than one-fifth of voters think Cadillac is the right
place for him. See the full poll result below! Should Sergio Perez
be racing for a stronger team than Cadillac?
