sergio perez Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Sergio “Checo” Pérez may not have a seat on the 2025 Formula 1 grid, but his absence hasn’t dimmed his star, especially in the borderland between Texas and Mexico—a region that still rallies behind its favorite racing son. Over the last few days, the action in Austin during the United States Grand Prix weekend proved just how lasting Pérez’s legacy is in the Americas. Culture Map Austin reported that, despite Pérez not racing this year after departing Red Bull at the end of 2024, his fans flooded the Circuit of the Americas in “Checo” shirts, jerseys, and Mexican flags, turning the paddock into a sea of national pride. The fandom wasn’t just passive; it was loud, passionate, and unmistakably loyal—a public display of affection that speaks volumes about Perez’s enduring appeal and the personal connection he’s forged with fans, both on and off the track. His absence hasn’t created a void; it’s only amplified anticipation for his comeback. Culture Map Austin confirmed that Pérez has already secured a seat with the newly formed Cadillac team for 2026, lining up alongside former Mercedes reserve Valtteri Bottas. This future move is arguably the most significant business and career development for Pérez in recent weeks—a major storyline for any biographer tracking the arc of his F1 journey.

There’s been no indication from major motorsport outlets that Pérez appeared at COTA in any official capacity, nor did he make any public statements or social media posts about the Austin race in the last 24 hours that crossed into mainstream news. The latest roundup from Culture Map Austin, published immediately after the Grand Prix, also makes no mention of any surprise paddock appearance, Q&A session, or media scrum involving Pérez this weekend. Still, the energy surrounding his name—even in absentia—was impossible to miss, with fans and media alike talking up his impending return. The talk in the fan zones and merchandising booths wasn’t about who was on track, but about who’d be back soon. All eyes now turn to Mexico City, where Pérez’s absence will be felt even more deeply at his home race. Formula1.com’s preview of the Mexico City Grand Prix noted that while Pérez won’t be racing this year, anticipation is already building for his 2026 homecoming, and the circuit is gearing up for a fiesta that’s as much about Pérez’s legacy as it is about the present grid.

On the business front, there’s been no major announcement about Pérez launching new ventures, endorsements, or investments in recent days. His Cadillac deal, confirmed earlier this year, remains his headline business move. Social media chatter is dominated by Mexican and Texan fans counting down the days to 2026, but there are no viral tweets or Instagram stories from Pérez himself making waves in the last 24 hours—just the usual outpouring of fan art, memes, and nostalgic clips that keep his legend alive. For now, Pérez’s story is one of waiting—and the world is waiting with him.
