  "account": "Sergio Perez, the Mexican Formula One driver, has announced that his new contract with Cadillac will be his last in the sport. The 36-year-old will start his 300th Grand Prix this weekend in front of his home fans in Mexico City. Perez stated that his children are the primary reason for limiting his career to three more years, as they reach significant stages in their lives. Despite Cadillac's struggles in their debut season, Perez is eager to help the team grow and build from the ground up, finding this challenge more motivating than immediate success. However, Perez remains less optimistic about the team securing a first point at his home race, believing they need a miracle. Despite Cadillac's challenges, Perez remains a popular figure in Mexico, with an estimated 100,000 fans attending a show in Mexico City's Paseo de la Reforma.",
