Checo Pérez achieves best result with Cadillac at Barcelona GP

Sergio Pérez secured his best result of the season with Cadillac, finishing 14th at the Barcelona Grand Prix. This marks the highest finish for the American team in Formula 1.

Pérez completed the race, benefiting from eight retirements to claim the fourteenth position. He remains hopeful of scoring points soon, despite the challenges.

“

Barcelona is the type of circuit that exposes weaknesses and from that point of view, it has given us a clear picture of the areas where we need to improve.

The race was notable for Lewis Hamilton's victory, his first since the Belgian Grand Prix in 2024. Pérez's result, while significant for Cadillac, was partly aided by the high number of retirements during the event.

“

Each race that we finish provides us with valuable data and helps us understand our limitations much better, particularly in long runs.

"Barcelona is the type of circuit that exposes weaknesses and from that point of view, it has given us a clear picture of the areas where we need to improve," Pérez stated after the race. He acknowledged that each completed race provides valuable data to better understand the car's limitations, especially in long-run performance.

Pérez anticipates improvements at the upcoming Austrian Grand Prix, with further developments planned thereafter. He has experienced only one retirement in seven races this season, contrasting with teammate Valtteri Bottas's more frequent issues.

“

The problems are not going to be solved overnight, but we will have improvements in Austria... that should help us take a step forward; and more developments will arrive after that.
