In December 2024, the “Checomania” (Checomania) slowed down its enthusiasm when it was announced that Sergio “Checo” Pérez would leave the Red Bull Racing team, which competes in Formula 1.

On August 26, Cadillac Formula 1 Team announced its two drivers for the 2026 season, composed of Mexican Sergio Pérez and Finnish Valtteri Bottas, who will be part of the grid from March 6 to 8, 2026 , when the Australian Grand Prix will be held.

Sergio Pérez is the most successful Mexican driver in history, with 281 race starts, six wins, three pole positions (1st place in the standings), 39 podium finishes, and a total of 1,638 points.

In 2024, 501 RT (Revolutionizing Transportation), in its vision of innovating the way it provides trucking services, launched its concept called “Moving Gallery ,” seeking to take advantage of dry van spaces to offer a unique setting on the roads.

“Part of the 501 RT philosophy is precisely to change the paradigms of this industry and innovate in various areas. One of them is to leverage the panels of the dry boxes to create a moving gallery,” the company shared at the launch of the first three boxes.

And on this route, 501 RT incorporated its fifth box of the “Moving Gallery” concept, which alludes to the Mexican driver with the most achievements in the “big circus” of Formula 1, Sergio Pérez, “it is a recognition of his great career, but above all of the value of consistency and constant improvement,” shared 501 RT.

The company’s vision is clear: instead of seeing white or other colored signs traveling along roads, arriving at distribution centers or manufacturing plants, these artistic displays , which showcase various elements that highlight the national culture or values ​​worth highlighting, contribute to a better scenario.
