[@paulallen8109]

Listen. He'll never fight for the championship as long as Max Verstappen is there. Did it ever occur to you why Ricciardo left them? The team is built around Verstappen and they're fully focused behind him. Perez was hired to be a *back-up* to Verstappen and to do a better job than Albon. Also because Red Bull had no more Red Bull academy drivers to promote to the driving seat after burning through Gasly and Albon in mere two seasons. "I really hope he can maintain consistency in his performances" Well, I'm not sure which races you've been watching but he failed qualifying at Bahrein and finished 5th. At Imola he spun during the safety car and then yet again during the race, and ended up *outside the points* . Some consistency. Red Bull aren't very forgiving. Fact is they want results fast or they'll throw you out. They make Ferrari look like saints. Not sure you noticed this at Red Bull before and how Kvyat was thrown out mid-season, Buemi and Vergne were never given a fair chance to prove themselves (but won titles in Formula E) and Ricciardo had enough and didn't re-sign despite the team wanting him to. Don't get me wrong here. I'd be overjoyed if he beats Max Verstappen. But Red Bull will never allow that to happen. And to be fair, why would they gamble their title aspiration on anybody but Verstappen?

What a beautiful video !!! 🥺😍 Checo is a magnificent driver !! So happy to see that he've a place in the RedBull Team ! The story isn't finished !! Força Checo 💪🏻🔥

[@manuelgarciadurand3366]

What a driver Checo. I'm glad to see him in Red Bull fighting for the podiums and victories

[@mrz1949]

Determination, skills and experience one driver for the ages, Checo Perez is so far the most charismatic guy on the grid, I see a champion in the making...

[@beanlentil]

If Checo were to win a WDC, he will forever be revered in Mexico as a legend. He has already done so much in his career, yet there is still time to do more. Checo forever!!!

[@albertoaguilar9773]

In Mexico F1 wasn't even popular before Checo, which is understandable as more than 40 years had to pass until the country had a driver in F1. Now that he's in a top notch team getting podiums, the sport's popularity has increased.

[@aidaulovic3307]

I really, really have mad respect for him. Although I am forever an Alonso fan, the talent, the patience, the will, the fighting spirit Checo always had just makes me respect him even more. Really hope to see him taking that top step in Red Bull.

[@joseyaruro1246]

How could you not simply love this man? His last-to-first race was just amazing. His emotional display, moving

[@maartenvanderkamp270]

I don't think they will, unlike albon perez already has had a long career in F1. He has the experience and he has already shown he is capable of keeping up with max only in his second outing. Perez will achieve great things in that red bull, I know he will
