佩雷兹在墨西哥大奖赛前签下新合同后强调，他对凯迪拉克F1车队2027年的队友人选没有发言权。
这位墨西哥车手在重返罗德里格斯兄弟赛道前已确认获得至2029年的发车位，这场比赛也将是他的第300场F1比赛——去年离开红牛后，他一直在场边观战。
但现任队友瓦尔特利·博塔斯的未来远未确定；尽管这位芬兰人否认他在新加入的凯迪拉克车队的位置有危险，但车队领队马尔钦·布德科夫斯基在美国大奖赛上发言时拒绝确认这两位现任车手下赛季将保持不变。
储备车手科尔顿·赫塔将在墨西哥站第一节练习中代替博塔斯出场，他目标是达到获得国际汽联超级驾照所需的积分，从而能够参加F1比赛。
这位美国人今年从印地赛车转投F2，尽管在Hitech车队遇到困难，但他此前在美国的成绩意味着他可以通过练习赛出场达到门槛。
在谈到赫塔在车队首个赛季中的贡献时，佩雷斯表示：“我认为他做得很好。他为车队带来了良好的反馈和有用的信息，这正是我们所需要的。”
“参加第一节自由练习总是很难展现出你的速度或你的水平。但现在我认为他在赛车和模拟器上有了更多时间，所以我们开始看到更多他的速度。”
“显然，这不是我的决定，但我认为这将由马尔钦来决定他们想要谁坐进赛车。我和瓦尔特里也合作得很好。我认为他在几场比赛中非常不走运。在奥斯汀，他展现了非常强劲的速度，所以对车队来说这不是一个容易的决定。”
关于他的新合同，佩雷斯提到了帮助一支F1新军所带来的额外动力，以及他的职责超越了“尽可能开得快”这一事实。
但当被问及这是否包括参与讨论谁应在2027年成为他的搭档时，他回答说：“不，完全没有。”
“我也不想参与，因为那不是我的决定。这就是为什么我们有像马尔钦这样的人，他会审视所有数据和信息，最终根据他认为对车队未来最有利的判断来做出决定。”
“显然，我们正处于一个需要极速发展的时期。接下来的三四个月对我们的准备工作至关重要。所以，是的，我认为这取决于他。”

Sergio Perez praises Colton Herta impact - but has no say over 2027 Cadillac F1 team-mate choice
Sergio Perez signed a new contract ahead of his home race in Mexico, where Colton Herta will take over Valtteri Bottas' car in FP1

Sergio Perez has insisted he will have no say on his Cadillac Formula 1 team-mate for 2027 after signing a new contract ahead of the Mexican Grand Prix.
The Mexican's spot on the grid was confirmed through to 2029 ahead of his return to the Autodromo Hermanos Rogriguez - which will also mark his 300th F1 race - having watched on from the sidelines last term following his departure from Red Bull.
But the future of current team-mate Valtteri Bottas is far from certain; though the Finn denies that his place with the debutant Cadillac squad is in danger, team principal Marcin Budkowski refused to confirm the incumbent duo would remain unchanged next season when speaking at the United States GP.
Reserve driver Colton Herta will run in FP1 in place of Bottas in Mexico as he aims to register the requisite tally of points to earn an FIA superlicence, which would allow him to compete in F1.
The American switched to F2 from IndyCar this year and, despite struggles with Hitech, his previous results Stateside mean he can meet the threshold through practice running.
Addressing Herta's contribution to the team during its maiden campaign, Perez said: "I think he's doing a good job. He's bringing good feedback to the team and good information, which is all we need from him.
"Doing FP1s is always very difficult to show your speed or the level you're at. But now I think he's having more time in the car and in the simulator, so we're starting to see more of his speed.
"Obviously, it's not my decision, but I think it will be down to Marcin to decide who they want in the car. I'm also working really well with Valtteri. I think he's been very unfortunate in a few races. In Austin, he showed very strong pace, so there isn't an easy decision for the team."
Regarding his new contract, Perez alluded to the extra motivation of helping an upstart team in F1 and the fact that his duties surpass "driving as fast as possible".
But asked whether this included being involved in the discussions over who should be his partner for 2027, he replied: "No, not at all.
"I don't want to, either, because that's not my decision. That's why we have someone like Marcin, who will be looking at all the data and information, and he will ultimately make that decision based on what he thinks is best for the future of the team.
"Obviously, we're in a period where we need to evolve extremely quickly. The next three or four months are really crucial in our preparation. So, yeah, I think it's down to him."
