An opportunity in Formula E?
The Mexican finds himself without a wheel for the 2025 F1 season, but his father has identified an unexpected opportunity for him.
“I never would have imagined Formula E”Antonio Perez told Estadio Deportes during the Mexico E-Prix. “Be careful because we might see Checo Perez racing here. »
Asked about the possibility of his son actually joining Formula E, he replied: “Of course, no problem. The category has existed for 11 years, it is very young. »
“Today it is number two in the world and within five years it will be number one. That’s why I’m here, I’m observing what’s happening…”he explains.
What are the other options for Sergio Perez?
After a terrible year where his lack of points contributed to Red Bull losing the constructors' championship to McLaren, a return to F1 seems unlikely for Sergio Perez.
-The arrival of Cadillac, or the evolution of Audi in 2026could represent an unexpected opportunity, but it is also possible that his F1 days are over.
Sergio Perez has insisted he didn't expect to be ousted from F1 and is therefore taking his time to think about what's next. A “interesting project” in F1 would interest him, he admitted.
But unless called up mid-season, like Daniel Ricciardo at AlphaTauri in 2023, that seems unlikely. His vast experience in the premier category could make him a candidate for this new role.
But last year could still loom large in the memory of anyone considering signing the former Red Bull driver.
