凯迪拉克F1车队表示,关于佩雷兹转会威廉姆斯的传闻不会让他们“分心”
佩雷兹一直被传可能离开凯迪拉克
凯迪拉克F1新任车队领队马尔钦·布德科夫斯基称赞了佩雷兹在2026赛季中的作用,并否认了任何将他与新军车队分手联系在一起的传闻。
这位36岁的车手在2026年加盟这支美国车队,参加其F1首秀。尽管由于赛车性能不佳他还没有拿到积分,但佩雷兹依然展现了自己的实力。
佩雷兹在排位赛正面交锋中以9比5(包括冲刺赛)领先队友瓦尔特里·博塔斯,并且一直是带领凯迪拉克缩小与中游车队差距的车手。
这导致出现了传闻,将他与陷入困境的威廉姆斯车队联系在一起,因为阿历克斯·阿尔本和卡洛斯·塞恩斯的未来尚不确定,但布德科夫斯基强调了留住佩雷兹的重要性。
“说实话,切科一直是车队的一笔财富,两位车手也都是,因为外界有很多议论,说我们签下了两位经验非常丰富的车手,”布德科夫斯基在与首席执行官丹·托里斯共同出席的媒体圆桌会议上说道。
“但我认为,在这样一支年轻的车队里,提供这种经验和稳定性至关重要。如果车手在学习、整个车队同时也在学习,那变量就太多了。
“所以我认为,车队里能有像佩雷斯(Checo)这样的车手是很重要的。”
因此,2026赛季我们看到的是一个焕然一新的佩雷斯,而不是2024年底导致他被红牛解雇、进而让他在去年休假的那个佩雷斯。
众所周知,他一直在幕后推动凯迪拉克,强调继续研发MAC-26赛车有多么重要,并展示了自己在292场大奖赛正赛中获得六个分站冠军所积累的丰富经验。
布德科夫斯基补充道:“据我所知——因为我与丹以及车队的其他一些人有过交流——他不仅驾驶得非常出色,而且一直在幕后非常、非常努力地推动着车队前进。”
“对于像他这样的车手来说,这是意料之中的,他在红牛待了很多年,而且一直和最顶尖的人共事。”
“我认为这正是我们想要的心态,这也是我会带来的心态。所以我确信我们在心态和干劲上会完全一致。”
TWG Motorsports 首席执行官丹·托里斯和卡西迪·托里斯
托里斯重申了布德科夫斯基所表明的立场,并驳斥了关于这位墨西哥车手可能转投格罗夫(Grove)的种种猜测。
“我想强调马尔钦所说的所有内容,”托里斯表示。“佩雷兹一直是车队极其宝贵的资产。他驾驶得非常出色,而且肯定一直在非常努力地推动车队前进。
“我非常有信心佩雷兹会继续留在凯迪拉克,我们丝毫没有被关于威廉姆斯的传闻分心。
“我们对这里的关系非常有信心,你们将会看到他驾驶凯迪拉克的F1赛车。”

Cadillac F1 team "not distracted" by Sergio Perez to Williams rumours
Perez has been linked with a move away from Cadillac
New Cadillac Formula 1 team boss Marcin Budkowski has praised Sergio Perez for his role in the 2026 campaign - denying any rumours linking him away from the debutant squad.
The 36-year-old joined the American outfit for its F1 debut in 2026 and although he is yet to score a point due to inferior machinery, Perez has still shown what he is capable of.
Perez leads team-mate Valtteri Bottas 9-5 (including sprints) in their qualifying head-to-head and has been the driver leading Cadillac’s charge to close the gap to the midfield.
This has led to rumours linking him with the struggling Williams outfit considering the futures of Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz are uncertain, but Budkowski stressed the importance of keeping Perez.
"Checo's been an asset to the team and so have both drivers, to be honest, because there's been a lot of talk about taking two very experienced drivers,” said Budkowski during a media roundtable alongside CEO Dan Towriss.
“But I think it's crucial in a young team like this to provide that experience and that stability. If you have a driver learning and the whole team learning at the same time, that's too many variables.
“So I think it's important to have a driver like Checo on board.”
The 2026 season has therefore seen a refreshed Perez and not the one which led to his dismissal from Red Bull at the end of 2024, leading to a sabbatical last year.
He is known to be pushing Cadillac behind the scenes, stressing how important it is to keep developing the MAC-26, showcasing his vast experience from six wins in 292 grand prix starts.
Budkowski added: "From what I know, because of the conversations I've had with Dan, but also with other people from the team, he's not only been driving exceptionally well, but he's been pushing the team very, very hard in the background.
"That's to be expected from a driver like him, who's been at Red Bull for years and with the best.
“I think that's the kind of mindset that we want and that's also the kind of mindset that I will bring. So I'm sure we'll be aligned completely on the mindset and on the drive."
Dan Towriss, CEO of TWG Motorsports and Cassidy Towriss
Towriss reinforced the stance issued by Budkowski and dismissed any speculation regarding a potential departure of the Mexican driver to Grove.
"I would underline all the things that Marcin said,” stated Towriss. “Checo's been a tremendous asset to the team. He's driven very well and certainly has pushed quite hard.
"I'm very confident that Checo is going to remain with Cadillac and we're not distracted by the Williams rumours for a second.
“We're very confident in the relationship here and that you're going to see him piloting the Cadillac F1 car.”
