From Formula One outsider to 300 starts: Perez marks milestone in Mexico

Sergio Perez, the Formula One driver, will mark his 300th start in the sport at the Mexico City Grand Prix. This milestone comes after a career that began in Europe when he was a teenager and saw him race for multiple teams, including Sauber, McLaren, Force India, Racing Point, and Red Bull. The 35-year-old's journey includes notable victories, such as his first win in Bahrain in 2020, a Monaco Grand Prix victory in 2022, and a special podium finish in Mexico, which he deemed his most cherished moment.

Perez's return to home turf in Mexico City has fueled the growth of motorsport in his country, transforming it into one of the sport's most passionate fan bases. After stepping away from the sport for a season, Perez realized the importance of maintaining balance in the intense world of Formula One. Currently, he is at Cadillac, where he faces the challenge of helping the team establish itself in the sport.

Perez is determined to guide Cadillac forward and wants to exit the sport on his terms, still performing at a high level.
