Motorsport.com reported that Cadillac was handed two fines after Sergio Perez was alleged to have exceeded the 80km/h pitlane speed limit twice during first practice for the Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid. The report said the two infringements both came in FP1 and led to separate fines for the team.

No fine amounts or stewards' documents were included in the material provided here, so the case remains reported rather than independently confirmed. There were also no further session details in the source material beyond the two alleged pitlane speeding breaches.

The reported penalties came in Cadillac F1 Team's first Formula 1 season. The American squad entered the championship in 2026 and has yet to record a race win or a constructors' title.
