Sergio Perez has outlined what he feels was the \u201cbiggest challenge\u201d upon his return to a full-time F1 drive.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Perez departed the grid at the end of the 2024 campaign following a challenging campaign with Red Bull.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
However, as Cadillac assessed the market for its driver line-up ahead of its debut season in 2026, Perez became a legitimate option due to his vast experience.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The Mexican was signed alongside fellow veteran Valtteri Bottas to lead the development of the car based on their feedback.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
However, Perez asserted that the biggest hurdle was adjusting to the hectic timetable F1 drivers are forced to navigate.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cThe biggest challenge was getting back to the rhythm of the schedule of an F1 driver, to be honest,\u201d Perez told media including RacingNews365.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cInitially, like I was doing a test and then getting a message that I had to be in two days, in a different country, and then two days later in another country.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cLike getting up to [speed with] that, you tend to forget how the life of an F1 driver is, how busy and how scheduled everything is, you live through a schedule.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cThat to me was like the hardest thing to get up to [speed].\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cBut then, within two or three months, I had no choice, so I got used to it.\u201d\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
After 11 rounds, Cadillac is still waiting to get off the mark and score its first points.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sergio Perez has outlined what he feels was the \u201cbiggest challenge\u201d upon his return to a full-time F1…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":854506,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[441],"tags":[49,48,2476,578,2479,2477,2480,2478,930,576,577,932,1885,2475,582,82],"class_list":["post-854505","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-ca","tag-canada","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\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/854505","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=854505"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/854505\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/854506"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=854505"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=854505"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=854505"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
