Los Angeles, Calif. – September 15, 2025 – Sergio “Checo” Pérez, newly named driver for the Cadillac Formula 1® Team, will make a special appearance at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday, September 17, to throw the ceremonial first pitch before the Los Angeles Dodgers game. The event celebrates Mexican Heritage Month and the week of Mexican Independence Day, marking a powerful cultural crossover between two of TWG Global’s most iconic sports portfolios.

The occasion represents the first public collaboration between the Los Angeles Dodgers, one of Major League Baseball’s most storied franchises, and the Cadillac Formula 1® Team, America’s highly anticipated new entry to the F1® grid in 2026. TWG Global’s multi-sport strategy is designed to connect global fanbases, celebrate cultural milestones, and bring athletes into broader conversations beyond their primary sport.

Dodgers and Cadillac F1 Come Together

“We’re honored to welcome Checo to Dodger Stadium during Mexican Heritage Month, an occasion that highlights the power of sport to unite fans,” said Mark Walter, Chairman of the Los Angeles Dodgers and CEO of TWG Global. “With both the Dodgers and Cadillac Formula 1 Team under the TWG umbrella, this moment reflects our shared commitment to excellence and to inspiring fans around the world.”

During his appearance, Checo Pérez will:

• Participate in batting practice
• Meet Dodgers players
• Join a press conference
• Exchange a signed Cadillac F1 helmet for a personalized Dodgers jersey
• Throw the ceremonial first pitch before the game

With six Formula 1® Grand Prix victories and more than 30 podium finishes, Pérez is celebrated as one of Mexico’s greatest athletes. His Dodger Stadium appearance highlights his role in shaping the Cadillac Formula 1® Team’s identity ahead of its 2026 debut.

Checo’s Pride in Celebrating Mexican Heritage

“I’m honored to throw the ceremonial first pitch for the Dodgers, especially during Mexican Heritage Month and so close to Mexican Independence Day,” said Pérez. “I’m proud to celebrate this moment with the Los Angeles community and with Mexican fans everywhere. Baseball is new for me, but it is great to see how sport has the power to bring people together. I’m excited to experience the passion of the Dodgers’ crowd, which I hope will also get behind the Cadillac Formula 1 Team.”

Dodgers’ Cultural Legacy Meets F1’s New Era

The Los Angeles Dodgers, defending World Champions and owners of eight World Series titles, are chasing another postseason run. Beyond on-field success, the Dodgers have long connected sports achievement with cultural milestones, from Jackie Robinson breaking baseball’s color barrier to global celebrations like Mexican Heritage Month.

Meanwhile, the Cadillac Formula 1® Team — a partnership between TWG Global and General Motors — will officially join the grid in 2026 as the first American-led F1 team in a generation. With Pérez as one of its inaugural drivers, the team aims to combine American innovation, GM’s engineering expertise, and international star power to compete at the highest level of motorsport.

Dan Towriss, CEO of TWG Motorsports and the Cadillac Formula 1® Team, added:

“This moment brings together two of TWG’s iconic teams — the Dodgers and Cadillac F1. Having Checo take the mound at Dodger Stadium is a celebration of sport and culture and their collective power to ignite fandom.”
