Sergio Perez signs a new deal with Cadillac as Valtteri Bottas is left waiting to discover his F1 future, plus Kimi Antonelli picks his race number for 2027. Here are the top F1 stories from today, Wednesday 28th October.
Sergio Perez has extended his contract with Cadillac through at least the end of 2029, committing to the American team after joining for its debut season.

Kimi Antonelli has won nine races in his 2026 debut season and leads Mercedes teammate George Russell by 123 points with five Grands Prix remaining.
Two points at the Mexican Grand Prix would secure the title and make the 20-year-old Formula 1’s youngest champion, but he says he plans to keep racing with number 12 rather than switch to number 1.

Isack Hadjar’s outbursts over the radio at the United States Grand Prix drew criticism from former F1 driver Ralf Schumacher, who urged the Red Bull rookie to rein in his temper.
