Oct 28 (Reuters) - Sergio ⁠Perez has signed a multi-year contract extension ⁠with Cadillac that will keep the Mexican ‌driver with the American Formula One team until 2029, the team said on Wednesday.

Perez celebrates a milestone 300th ​Grand Prix start at the ⁠36-year-old's home race in ⁠Mexico City this weekend. A six-times Grand Prix ⁠winner, ‌Perez moved to Cadillac for their debut season on the grid.

"Joining Cadillac ⁠from day one was a project I ​truly believed ‌in, and extending my commitment feels like ⁠a natural ​continuation of this chapter," Perez said in a statement.

"Building a Formula One team from the ground ⁠up takes time, relentless work and ​patience, but the progress we are making together is incredibly rewarding. There is still a lot ⁠of work ahead of us and I am fully committed for the next three years."

A veteran who has raced in Formula One since ​2011, Perez finished third ⁠in the 2022 drivers' championship and second the ​following season behind team mate ‌Max Verstappen when he was ​with Red Bull Racing.

10 月 28 日（路透社）——凯迪拉克车队周三表示，塞尔吉奥·佩雷斯已与该车队续签多年合同，这位墨西哥车手将继续效力于这支美国一级方程式车队直至 2029 年。

本周末，佩雷兹将在墨西哥城的主场比赛中迎来他职业生涯的第300场大奖赛，这也是这位36岁车手的里程碑时刻。佩雷兹曾六次赢得大奖赛冠军，并在凯迪拉克车队的首个赛季效力于该车队。

佩雷斯在一份声明中表示：“从加入凯迪拉克的第一天起，我就真心相信这个项目，而延长我的任期感觉就像是这一篇章的自然延续。”

“从零开始打造一支一级方程式车队需要时间、不懈的努力和耐心，但我们共同取得的进展令人无比欣慰。我们面前还有很多工作要做，未来三年我将全力以赴。”

佩雷兹是一位自 2011 年以来一直在一级方程式赛车中参赛的老将，他在 2022 年车手锦标赛中获得第三名，并在接下来的赛季中获得第二名，当时他效力于红牛车队，仅次于队友马克斯·维斯塔潘。
