SERGIO PEREZ SLAMS RED BULL ENVIRONMENT AFTER SHOCKING CADILLAC F1 MOVE
Sergio Perez signs with Cadillac F1 for 2026. Read his honest take on the " Verstappen problem" and his new start with Bottas.
Sergio Perez’s time at Red Bull wrapped up after the 2024 F1 season, and honestly, it wasn’t pretty. His performance kept sliding, and by the end, everyone saw it coming.
Looking back, Perez didn’t hold back about his years with Red Bull. He talked about the constant criticism and summed it up with, “Everything was a problem.”
He first joined Red Bull in 2021, stepping in for Alex Albon. Four seasons later, he and the team went their separate ways. But he’s not done with F1 just yet—he’s signed a multi-year deal with Cadillac, teaming up with Valtteri Bottas this season. It’s a fresh start, and for Perez, probably a shot to end his career on a high note after hitting rock bottom at Red Bull.
It wasn’t always this rough, though. When he first joined, he actually impressed people by keeping up with Max Verstappen—sometimes even beating him. In 2023, Perez finished second behind Verstappen, giving Red Bull their first-ever one-two finish in the drivers’ standings.
But 2024 was a disaster. He started okay, but quickly lost pace, and the bad run just wouldn’t stop. Eventually, Red Bull decided they’d had enough.
Talking about his time at Red Bull on the Crack podcast, Perez said, “We had the best team. Everything just fell apart. Honestly, we could’ve dominated for a decade. But it all ended. Red Bull is the best team, but it’s complicated—being Max’s teammate is the toughest job in F1. It’s the best and worst seat, no question.”
He added, “People forget. When I first arrived and got results, everyone acted like it was no big deal. But it’s tough in that seat. I knew what I was walking into—I wasn’t there to beat one of the best.”
Like a lot of Verstappen’s teammates, Perez struggled to keep up. The real trouble started when the team rolled out upgrades designed for Verstappen’s style. Perez usually did best early in the year, when the car was heavier and felt more stable to him.
According to Perez, even when he did outpace Verstappen, it just made things worse. “Everything was a problem. If I were fast, it was a problem. If I were slower than Max, that was a problem too. Everything turned into an issue.”
He didn’t just complain, though. Perez said he learned to stop griping and just make the best of a tough situation—because, honestly, that’s all you really can do in his shoes.
FRED VASSEUR SLAMS "ENOUGH WITH THIS STORY" OVER LEWIS HAMILTON’S ENGINEER DRAMA
Lewis Hamilton calls engineer change "detrimental." Get the latest on Carlo Santi, Cedric Michel-Grosjean, and Vasseur's defense.
Lewis Hamilton heads into his second season with Ferrari, but he still doesn’t have a new race engineer lined up. Team boss Fred Vasseur doesn’t seem too worried, though. He brushed off the drama around Hamilton’s situation, saying it’s not really a big deal.
Last year, Hamilton worked alongside Ricardo Adami during his debut season with Ferrari, but they’ve already parted ways ahead of the 2026 season. Even though the new season’s just a couple of weeks away, Ferrari hasn’t named a permanent replacement.
People questioned how well Hamilton and Adami actually communicated last season, especially when Hamilton’s frustration came through on team radio. Now, with Hamilton needing to build a new working relationship, Vasseur insists it’s not creating any bad vibes.
“That’s not exactly what’s happening,” Vasseur told reporters, including those from RacingNews365. “The teamwork between Lewis and everyone on the pit wall is really strong. He’s confident, he’s open, and honestly, I feel good about where things stand. The whole goal is just to keep getting better, day by day. If there’s something to improve, I’ll push for it, but Lewis is in a great mindset.”
During pre-season testing, Hamilton teamed up with Carlo Santi, who used to engineer for Kimi Raikkonen. Meanwhile, rumours are swirling that Ferrari wants to hire Cedric Michel-Grosjean, who just left McLaren, to take over as Hamilton’s race engineer. But Vasseur is clearly tired of the speculation.
When someone brought it up yet again, he cut them off. “Please, enough with this story,” he said. “Look around the paddock. Out of 22 cars, you’ll see six or seven new engineers every year; the same goes for team principals. Honestly, I’m probably the oldest one here, along with Toto Wolff. Teams swap out three or four team principals a year, and it’s not the end of the world.
“There are about 1,500 people in the team now. It’s never just about one race engineer. The person on the pit wall leads a whole group working on the car, so it’s not about individuals. In Formula 1, it’s always about the team. It never comes down to just one person.”
CHARLES LECLERC WARNS F1 OVERTAKING IS "EXTREMELY DIFFICULT" UNDER NEW 2026 REGULATIONS
Charles Leclerc and Esteban Ocon flagged "difficult" passing in 2026 testing. Discover why the 50/50 power split is a strategic nightmare.
Charles Leclerc isn’t sugarcoating it: overtaking looks like a real challenge under the new regulations, and the cost of trying is way higher than before.
Max Verstappen kicked off the complaints about the rules, since now so much depends on how well drivers handle their battery levels. The big change is the 50/50 power split between the internal combustion engine and the battery. That’s forced drivers to rethink everything; they’re saving battery instead of just going flat out for speed.
We’ve just come out of an era where ground effect cars made overtaking tough because of all the dirty air, and honestly, it doesn’t sound like things are getting any easier. No one’s raced for points yet, but after testing in Bahrain, the mood in the paddock isn’t exactly upbeat.
Esteban Ocon was quick to sound the alarm. After following a few cars in testing, he noticed he lost a lot of front grip, maybe even more than last year. He tried the overtake mode but didn’t want to jump to conclusions too soon. Still, his gut feeling? Passing looks tough.
Leclerc agrees. He says he’s on the same page as the other drivers. Right now, overtaking is extremely hard. Maybe with time, as everyone learns how to manage these situations, it’ll get better. But at the moment, every overtake comes at a much steeper battery cost than before. That means even if you pull off a move, getting away from the car behind isn’t as simple as it was last year. It’s just tricky.
When asked about the new rules overall, Leclerc isn’t quite as downbeat as Verstappen, but he admits something’s missing. He’s always loved the aggressive, attacking style of the older F1 cars, and he feels like there’s less of that now. The changes are huge; everything feels completely different from what he’s known in his career. But he does see progress. The cars are getting better, and everyone’s still learning, trying to figure out all the new systems and how to squeeze out the best performance. There’s a lot of work ahead, but things are moving in the right direction.
