How Perez’s ‘once in a lifetime’ Red Bull F1 shot has started 

Perez we hope that you will beet that fish lips arrogant Max! Fight him, don’t settle to be his bich !!!!!!!!!!!!!!GO PEREZ !!!!!!

its gonna be 1. hamilton 2. max. 3. perez 4. bottas

Expecting a Merc against RB season, with Ferrari nowhere. RB have at least doubled their tally of podiums.

Looking forward for great 2021 season where redbull, McLaren, And Ferrari has great driver duo, with vettel at Aston Martin and I renualt will improve too.. let's hope there's new champion will be crowned..

Does it really matter? If they cantfigure out what mercedesis doing?

I trust Checo... but the history of that second seat is the one thing that makes doubt RB performance.

Had a hard week and this was just what I needed after this day to make it a bit better . Formula video + listening to the music I like (Delta Parole, Metallica and other) make me feel the speed and excitement!

TLDR : He comes with sweet sweet money.

Well...If Red Bull play fair with him, he will do well from about the half way stage of the season. If he doesn't get the fair shake, he will be another with a problem car. It seems the Red Bull way. But...maybe they've decided on Red Bull becoming World champions at last. After all, they did sign Perez. So maybe now, they ARE thinking Red Bull. Ah, but time will tell as usual.

Plot twist: Pérez wins the championship, then retires. Drops mic

Two of my favorite drivers on one team. Perez might as well be considered the “de facto” American driver in F1. Red Bull should make let him throughout North America.

Second seat sabotage is common enough in F1. Barrichello at Ferrari, Villeneuve at Williams, Russell at Mercedes, etc. Then there is the Max factor.

Don’t quite understand this move from RB...

I think he has earned a shot in a top team, i wish him best of luck.

Quit begging for likes, plz!

To hear someone who has been on the Ferrari and McLaren payroll saying Red Bull is the chance of a lifetime is a bit strange, you've already had two chances of a lifetime Sergio. My feeling is that he has taken his sponsors money to pay another year's tab at the last chance saloon.

I think Perez will be on the podium many more times this coming season. Also he will win many times with his experience and calm mind under pressure

Imagine Max pressing Lewis all race, meanwhile Sergio will come from the second half of the race stronger and stronger to beat Lewis. This should be an enormous opportunity for Red Bull to be capable to win Mercedes with one or another Bull (maybe both).

Ik checo will be good but the first 2 or 3 races he might get p9 or 11 but after that he will get used to the car and start getting poduims

It seems that Verstapen will be having a tough teammate this season. Especially with some new regulations which means the 2021 car won’t be the same as last year!!

Poor Perez, he was hired to race Behind Max and he doesn't know it.

Street dogs are a big part of life in Mexico so I'm not surprised

i think he will be a great disappointment, and the second red bull curse will continue unfortunately ;c

This sounds like the bloke that does the Essex boys case to court room.?

I hope both Perez and Bottas have great years, I am really looking foreword to Checos 1st test

Perez has a history of out performing his equipment. If that's possible at Red Bull, Max may have his hands full. If the chemistry is there between he and Max, I believe the driver tandem is on par, or as close as possible, with Hamilton and Bottas. Now, let's see what kind of car he has to work with.

Return to Renault engine and u will be world champions again christian

A dog with a new chairleg. Good luck and well done.

Checo Perez will be a very successful driver in Red Bull considering his high skills or strengths like: tyre management, consistency, experience and maturity, leadership and as a fast driver.

Perez's consistency will be key. I also he think he will be quicker on different parts of the track and his feedback will make Max faster.

Excellent news on his signing with Red Bull🌟

All season a gap of 0.300 to max

A dog finding a new family because the last one dumped him on the highway. Stroll just made me wanna watch F1 again, just to see Checo outscore them.

Good driver and hopefully he can perform his duties well as a second driver. He has a similar mental attitude to Bottas which is all a team can ask for when looking for a driver to back up their star-talent.

Redbull curse isn't a thing Redbull curse isn't a thing Redbull curse isn't a thing Redbull curse isn't a thing Redbull curse isn't a thing Redbull curse isn't a thing

Checo, you deserved this seat. I'll be rooting for you in 2021. Drive fast, drive hard, but most importantly drive with fun!

At least he didn’t describe the car as a ‘dog’....

I would like to think he will be competitive but Max has regularly been putting that Redbull in positions it should probably not really be in , I think Max and Charles are the new breed of super quick driver and Checo is probably as good as anyone else on the grid. I really hope he can shine at Redbull given the time and service he has provided in F1, definitely one of the more likeable guys in the sport and very talented. I hope beyond hope that the Mercedes just doesn’t run away with it again, but it will. Good luck Checo, you will definitely be a massive help to the team!

I think Perez is very much underestimated as good as max is he has his hands full here I predict it will be like the Lewis, nicko seasons

0:14 sensationell

I'd love for Perez to win he's a fantastic driver but let's be real no one is winning anything while those unstoppable Mercedes cars are on the grid, maybe in 2022 when the regulations change again but right now it's going to be a repeat of last season with Merc dominance and Hamilton getting a historic Eighth Championship unless Bottas suddenly turns into Rosberg and goes against him, which btw will still not make him better than Schumacher

I hope that this move works out. I love Albon, I hope he gets a seat in the future, but I want to see a title challenge

Perez has shown he knows when and more importantly when not to attack or overtake, something the past has shown Max is still learning, this is a fantastic opportunity for both Perez and RB

If Perez can fight for podiums and wins in a racing point he can win a championship in a red bull

Concerningly- he sounds like a man desperately trying to convince himself of a situation that isn’t the case...

While Perez isn't my favourite driver, I do feel he will take that team to another level to actually be a constructors championship contender. And it's all because of his experience. I wouldn't say he has more talent than the younger drivers but that experience is crucial to hold up in that seat.

I hope he does well with redbull

I can’t wait to see the jaws drop on Verstappen fans mouths when Checo starts beating Max for pace and winning races. Just like Ricciardo did the first 2 seasons he raced with Max before his 7 mechanical DNF’s in 2018.

i believe in my boy. If he and max get along, great things are in store for red bull

HAHAHAHAHA LOLMAOMFGTFO, oh no you didn't! OH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!

It’s a gamble, he is good, but can be too hot headed and blame others for his mistakes, like Vettel. When he knew his career depended on good results last year, he managed to keep it together....let’s see

I don't care who wins this year I just want Checo to win 2 races and 7 podiums at least

I think he will drive very well , in fact i think his points at season end will be within the top 4 in the constructors as he was this year, and i because how bad Ferrari was this year , also Albons results were and the fact that the Force India ... or what ever the bloody hell the team was called last year was a car that did not deserve the results it got , when a driver out drive the motor they are in then only good things will happen. Lets hope he can do it with superior machinery

RedBull shoukd let Max and Sergio race ...

I am going to root for Redbul from 2021 because of Checho 🥰

Once in a lifetime? This is the second opportunity he's had in his career with this level of team.

Now, nobody should be upset that Perez lost his seat at racing point.

Red Bull is extremely lucky to have been able to get Perez so easily. Think about it, Perez's negotiating position was also not super strong because of how late Racing Point decided to decide to drop him. All the other teams already had driver contracts in place. It's just so absurd for Racing Point to drop such a great driver in such great form. This kind of thing wouldn't happen in almost any other sport.

In the next few years, I hope Lando Norris contests the 500. That would be very entertaining!

The dog analogy was just that, an analogy. One must not be so literal. Throw us a bone here. Oh, I guess I shouldn't use that expresion, for this channel might literally think some listeners gnaw on bones for din din.

he will definetly be closer to Max than others, he is a very exprienced and confident driver. Max will prevail in terms of speed, no doubt, but Sergio can use his experience and finally maturity (he was nuts in his early days). It will be fun

He actually was in such a Top Team before, he raced for McLaren in 2013. Although the car was not any good that year and even Jenson struggled to finish 9th, the organization behind was at the time one of the top two, it was McLaren and Ferrari, then everyone else, including Red Bull, in terms of resources, facilities, size of team, etc.

Another driver announcing that Max is the fastest driver on the grid. 👍

Sergio will beat Max in 2021

moving teams can make or break one's career and with Redbull its most likely break lol

If this goes well, all will be fine. If it doesn’t.....there could be fireworks. Perez isn’t a child. This isn’t Albon or Gastly. Even Daniel was a “get along guy”.....not gonna rock the boat, just left so as not to deal with it. If this really doesn’t go well, I don’t see Perez backing down to Max or to Red Bull. I think he’s a talented driver. We’ve all seen it, and I hope the team can run down Mercedes.

I think Sergio will give Max a real challenge. Cant wait to see it!!!

"Overdeliver" is not far from "overdriving".

Lesssssss go Perez 🔥

Couldn’t be happier with this opportunity for Checo. I have a lot of confidence in him, in fact, I think he is going to get frustrated by lots of team orders to not pass Max or, or end up beating him often and backfiring on RBR by being too competitive and splitting their points when it comes to driver’s championship.

Work call!!, just do it. One more day in the office.

Perez with Verstappen is going to be a disastrous season

Good luck at max bull checko

Going to miss Albon a lot. We’ll see how it’s like having to be verstappens Seacond fittle

There is no points for quali!

Max destroys perez like hé is faster as any one in F1

He will be world champion this year. Max 2nd.

Perez is going to give redbull an excellent chance to take down Mercedes, i can't wait for next season

By not DNFing as much as Max, he could beat him by points, even if he doesn't win a single race. Consistency is the name of his game.

God Im looking forward to this years season

Will Kimi finally get the drink?🥤❄

cant wait until March

I can’t wait to see Perez in a red bull it’s going to be great

It is much harder to shine in a top team compared to a midfield one. I am expecting mediocrity from old sergio, but maybe he can surprise me.

Good luck mate if anyone deserves another shot it's perez !! You've earned it and a lot of fans along the way 🙌🏽

Let's see the two bulls charging the podiums in 2021 !

If RBR wants to be a very serious rival to Mercedes (even w/o Lewis), Checo needs to break out of that "2nd RBR Car Curse."

It really looks like Checo is willing to keep the seat for one more year, but also I don't want to see Checo being catch up of the second seat unlucky from past teammates...

I am a big Max fan, already supported his father from day 1, but I really want Checo to do well, and I think he will. He has got the talent, the experience and the motivation to do well. I think they can learn from each other and improve as a team. Mind you, a lot will depend on the 2021 car if he and Max can cause a bit of a stir in the Mercedes camp. Because let's face it, if it hadn't been for Max, the Mercedes boys would have had a walk in the park at virtually every race they competed and finished in 2020. And we all know who comes out on top if the battle is only between Lewis and Valteri on race day. Lets hope we get some good battles in 2021, be it for the driver's or the constructor's championship, and hopefully both. Bring it on!!

He's going to be awesome in the races, really glad he got this chance, going to be great to watch him in such a great team.

Sergio needs to work on his qualifying but his racecraft and tire management is near Lewis Hamilton level. I'm very excited to see 2021 play out in the Red Bull garage

Oh that wry smile, Checo is gonna be fast in this car and I think he knows it.

Pour some Holy water all over the car and you'll be Good

Much as I liked Albon, I hope Perez beats Max

Think Perez is decidedly average, rarely beat Button in the same car. Think he'll be better than Albon but will again look silly against Max

All the very best to him, top man, very good racer.

I truly hope Max and Checo will give Mercedes a big headache and not each other

Perez wont sit back and be #2, he will eventually be able to compete with max after several races he should be upto speed! Go Perez!

The biggest problem I see is that Red Bull has only given him a 1 year contract. This kinda smacks of a combination of lack of confidence from the team and also that Perez is just keeping the seat warm for Tsunoda if he has a good year in the AT. Another thing you have to ask is, what if Perez actually starts outpeforming Max? Would Red Bull slap him down and tell him "Max is faster than you"? I hope to god that if Sergio has a great year, that he is not ousted for no good reason like they did at RP.
