Sergio Perez has highlighted Cadillac was \u201cfighting issues\u201d throughout the day on Thursday when he was behind the wheel.<\/p>\n
Cadillac’s F1 car made its on-track debut on Monday with both Perez and team-mate Valtteri Bottas taking it out onto the circuit.<\/p>\n
However, the team did not make another appearance until Thursday when Perez handled driving duties, clocking up 66 laps across the day of running.<\/p>\n
Perez highlighted the team is improving every time it takes to the tarck, but conceded there are still problems it is trying to iron out.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a much better day,\u201d he said. \u201cObviously, we got a lot of running, a lot of information.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe’re still fighting a few issues out there, which is great – it was all about it today.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are improving on pretty much every run.<\/p>\n
\u201c[There are] issues all around with the power unit, with the car, with a few electronics issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut this is great that things are happening here. We have a lot of of work ahead of us, being a new team.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cadillac is facing a challenging campaign ahead as it arrives as the sport’s newest team, having established itself from scratch.<\/p>\n
It employed the services of Perez and Bottas – two of F1’s most experienced drivers – for its maiden season.<\/p>\n
Perez, who last raced in 2024, said of his return: \u201cComing back, it felt a little bit strange, seeing some people, some drivers, again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt felt like it’s been a long time since I last saw them. I’m happy to be back.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sergio Perez has highlighted Cadillac was \u201cfighting issues\u201d throughout the day on Thursday when he was behind the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":450888,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[573],"tags":[64,63,827,817,830,828,831,829,826,813,816,823,825,824,822,85],"class_list":["post-450887","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motorsport","tag-racing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450887","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=450887"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450887\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/450888"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=450887"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=450887"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=450887"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
