Sergio Perez reports delays for Cadillac engine and rear wing upgrades

Summary

Cadillac F1 driver Sergio Perez confirmed that the team has designed new engine and rear wing components for its MAC-26 car but has yet to receive the parts. The team remains scoreless this season and has struggled with technical reliability throughout the year. Perez noted that the lack of upgrades hampered his performance at the Italian Grand Prix, where he finished in 18th place after suffering from poor straight-line speed and a five-second penalty. The driver stated that availability for the upcoming Spanish Grand Prix in Madring is uncertain due to manufacturing and delivery delays. Under new team principal Marcin Budkowski, the organization aims to implement these performance improvements in the coming months.
