Checo Pérez, after his abrupt exit from Formula 1 in December 2024, has taken refuge in activities away from the tracks. At a recent event, he participated in a friendly match and mingled with sports personalities and businesspeople, such as Arturo Elías Ayub and Carlos Slim Domit. Despite the pressure of F1, which kept him in an intense routine for 13 years, Pérez showed a relaxed side, longing for his younger days. During this time away from the circuit, he remained active in social events and devoted himself to his family, while he explored new opportunities in his career.
In 2025, his return to the world of motorsport took shape with the news of his signing with Cadillac, which will enter F1 in 2026. Although the new team faces the challenge of adapting to a Ferrari engine and competing under a new regulation, Pérez regards it as his last great project. The expectation is that he will fight to position himself in the scoring zone, a significant challenge given the team's rookie status. As he prepares for this new phase, the Mexican driver has rekindled the interest of his fans and maintains his passion for the sport, balancing the adrenaline of racing with moments of leisure.
