I laughed when Checo said he could hear his country cheering for him as he was racing! That must have felt great! What a great moment for F1 history and Mexico.

Did anyone catch Stroll's super-enthusiastic engineer trying to hype him up to get Ocon who was like 25 seconds ahead with 7 laps to go? For P14? :D

I've been watching F1 since 1998 and I have never ever seen more home town support for a local hero than for Checo in Mexico. Just wow!!!

Max is literally something else. Started P3 behind 2 Mercs and leads at the exit of turn 1. What a guy

It makes me so happy that Perez has got finally a podium in his home gp.

Best part was seeing Checo's dad enjoying himself after the race. Congrats to Checo on a well deserved podium.

Max's decision to late brake that way and lead into the 1st corner without having heated his tyres much shows how much confident he is about his skills. Really impressive! That's what we want to see from the upcoming world champ! MAX MAX MAX SUPER MAX!

Perez may not have won the race, but he definitely won the hearts of the crowd.

Legends say Bottas is still tying to overtake Ricciardo.

Results of the race: P4: Sergio Pérez P3: Lewis Hamilton P2: Max Verstappen P1: Checo's Dad

‘’Drain the battery, drain the battery, Final lap, THIS IS IT!!!’’ I'm very touched by this sentence.

Checo's dad is an absolute legend! Very heartwarming to see his joy.

Didnt see a single comment about Gasly. Man this guy has been the dark horse this whole season. Genuinely impressed with what he has been able to do, and consistently.

What a drive by Gasly. It’s funny how whenever he finishes 4th theirs no car with 20 seconds of him lol. He just chilling on his own.

Perez really thought he could do 0:19

Verstappen's move into Turn 1 was one of the very best of modern F1, absolute bravery and control.

*Mexico is Red Bull’s track* Quali: Mercedes pulls a uno reverse card Race: Red Bull pulls another

Sergio Perez is now the first Mexican driver to take a podium at the MexicoGP

Max is a really intelligent driver, which he has shown in the first laps here. Getting on the outside knowing the two Mercs won’t be able to brake as late on the inside, and getting on the throttle at the immediately after the sc knowing the red bull had more grip out of the corner.

One of the greatest starts ever, but Max will never get the recognition because he is not British

As much as I was impressed by the drive by Max and Checo, Gasly’s P4 run has proven that he has improved his skills and gained experience to become a great driver. Cannot wait for him to be on the podium once again.

Raikkonen still scoring points at age 42. Bwoah I'll miss him when he retires.

Checo: "I can hear the people cheering from my car" *MARIACHI MUSIC INTENSIFIES*

Came here after watching F1 Mexico 2023 first turn, just to see it done right.

*5:50** Sergio Perez takes P3 and becomes the first Mexican driver to take a podium in his home race!* 🇲🇽🥉👏🏻

Bottas’ weekend: - Qualifies on pole - Gets spun around on lap one - Gets stuck behind the same guy who spun him for the entire race - Gets a slow pit stop - Pits for fastest lap but unable to do it due to traffic - Pits again for fastest lap - 4-stop Ferrari strategy *TRADITIONS*

If you clearly observe the start, max played it superbly. He acted like as if he was going inside, mercedes tried to block him then he suddenly pulled out to the racing line outside. Brilliantly done 🔥

I cannot stop thinking about that thumbnail. It looks straight out of the F1 games.

Verstappen's first corner overtake was magnificent.

They should've also mentioned how Gasly finished P4. This man is seriously underrated.

I'm watching this now after Checo's copied Max's move at turn 1 at 2023 GP and Max was ahead right before the breaking zone while Checo was just alongside Leclerc and Max

My 10000th time watching the start!!!!

Red Bull managing to close in on the constructors to just one point is seriously impressive

Perez went from nearly being out of F1 to going into a contender team and being on the podium of his home gp 👏👏👏

We need to acknowledge the monster performance by the RB pit crew in this race. Phenomenal stuff

Many people comming here to compare with Checo 2023 maneuver.

That Max bold move on lap 1 T1 is simply a masterpiece to watch.

The celebration bewteen Max, Checo, all the mechanics and Checo´s father was awesome! Watching all of them sharing the Mexican flag was something that we didn´t see before! The photo with both Max and Sergio holding together the Mexican flag was the moment of the weekend for me!

Came back after Abu Dhabi to check on Checo’s proud dad once again!

Seeing Mazepin in almost TOP10 made me smile for a few moments

Giovinazzi sabotaged with an awful strategy that lost him 40 seconds. Should have finished p7. At the end of the race he said "thanks for the great strategy guys". In an interview from sky sports he admitted the team was sabotaging him.

Ocon got sandwiched by two others cars who had to retire. That Alpine is like a tank.

Verstappen proving once again he is the most talented and exciting driver in the world, that start and first turn overtake were simply magnificent...

rooting for Gasly, an underdog that got his head back into the sport.

Not quite the result that people wanted as everyone wanted Perez to either win or get second, but in the final few stages of the race, it was so intense between Hamilton and Perez and I’m happy that Perez was able to get a podium in his home race🏆

lewis: Tell me where is Max fast? Toto: In Mexico

What a start for max!! They didn’t give enough credit to that move, it was crazy, outbraking 2 cars with cold tires not locking up and just keeping it to the edge of the track, that was the move of the year, one of the strongest we’ve ever seen!

Who's here after Mexico 2023? 😭

1 point difference between Merc and Red Bull and 4 races to go, let's go! 🔥😍

Gasly is so underrated man P4 unchallenged the whole race, Seb and Kimi also doing amazing this race under the radar!

Comparing with Perez's recent... mishap. I think what max did right here is take the wide line, it allowed him to go for a sharper turn and go late on the brakes, so once he saw he outbraked Bottas he could slam himself in front. Instead of taking a tight line and turning without actually knowing you beat the person to the apex.

Say Hi if you're here after Checo crashed in 2023

Perez really settling in now and contributing to the constructors and Max’s title push. Great move from red bull to bring him in and sign him up for a few years. Great driver.

Lewis : tyres dropping massivly Checo : tyres are getting better !

Love seeing these crowds coming back after lockdowns. This energy, rivalry between Max and Lewis, and Netflix exposure is exactly what F1 needed to surge in the Americas

The best F1 season since 2016, from the perspective of points gap between 1st and 2nd.

Checo's Dad was in Full Send mode. The way he was running, his lap time would have been faster than the Haas.

Checo thanks for making us go nuts. VIVA MÉXICO!

Glad to see RB and even Max working on strategies to pressure the Mercedes. I love when both drivers ask about eachothers positions and stats as they race

What a great race! Love the Mexican Gran Prix with the stadium and all the people!! :D

Since Turkey: Verstappen: 68 points Hamilton: 46 points Perez: 45 points Bottas: 34 points

If Perez actually made the move on Lewis the crowd could've probably been heard from Canada Honorable mentions to Mazepin for being 11th for... 50 seconds, and to Bottas for that wonderfully executed 4 stop 4 stop? 5 stop? Whatever. Many stops

I'm so happy that Max took another victory and extended his advantage in the championship. His overtaking maneuver at the first corner was amazing. I'm also happy that Checo stood on the podium at his home race but I hoped to see him overtaking Hamilton for P2.

That first corner overtake was sweet

Another poor strategy call from Giovinazzi’s team, pitting him right into the Bottas/Ricciardo battle and having him take the hards 50 laps. Ruined a certain points finish.

That late brake by Max in turn 1 was sick.

Max's best, and up to this day, most significant overtake in his career in that first turn - that was title winning

Hamilton “ they’re faster than us “ yes that’s how you win races and championships by having a faster car.

What great confidence on the brakes from Max at the start. This was definitely one of his best drives ever

"drain the battery x 2" Idk i like this line so much,driver are rarely told to just use all the energy and the fact that it's on the last lap that close just make it more amazing

If Lewis would have started like Max did here at Mexico, he would be heralded in the British press as 'greatest F1 driver ever'. But now Max did it so it was 'Bottas gave a tow', 'did leave the door open' bla bla. Difficult to amid that Max is the best

An extremely well deserved podium for Sergio Perez

The best part of the race was when Max blue-flagged Bottas in his first fastest lap attempt 😂

Perez looking after his tyres like a gardener watering his plants !!

Hearing the roar of everyone cheering for Checo is just amazing

Wey se siente bonito cuando dicen que por primera vez hay un mexicano en el podio del México GP! Muy bien por Checo 👏🏻😭

Let’s all’s take a moment to appreciate how fast these people are working for us to see the highlights so freakin’ fast after the end of the race! Thank you guys! You’re the best ♥️

I was in the stadium today. When Verstappen won, we started singing "Verstappen hermano, ya eres mexicano". (Verstappen brother, you´re also mexican too)

Shame Max's toying with Bottas attempts to take fastest lap point, didnt make into your highlights.

haha great commentating on this one. That opening lap "kerfuffle" was intense, and "Maxico" was a nice touch.

This RB victory, mexican crowd and the home hero deserve a netflix episode

Max can almost feel it now... Once he got in front he was dominant and unstoppable

Verstappen's move was simply simply lovely

Yuki saying "somebody hit me in the back" When he ran over Ocon's rear tire is hilarious.

We gotta love those battles between Kimi and Alonso while they're still here

That double overtake round the outside into turn 1 was legendary. The race was over then and there. Super Max!

Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

Interesting how Checo stayed 1 second behind Hamilton for ten laps and couldn't even attempt an overtake

Perez only 20 points behind Bottas now, he has a chance for 3rd. Let's go checo!

Ricciardo helps your old team Ricciardo: hold on my smile 😁

That turn 1 overtake! Such confidence!

Such a great guy checo... A team player, happy for him ..

As a Mexican, I'm glad that although Checo didn't win, he made podium in Mexico. What a Formula 1 driver to represent us Mexicans

Perez leading a lap at home and getting a podium, is all the positive energy I need for the week.

Absolutely zero sportsmanship from Hamilton by saying it was Bottas' fault for not blocking Verstappen. Bottas had a decent start, his only mistake was positioning himself so that Lewis could pass him at turn 1 or at turn 2. And to say such a thing about a man who's been always there as your wingman, offering you his hard fought race victories, it nullifies all of his "against all odds underdog fighter" image that Lewis is cultivating so much Look at Verstappen and Perez - even though Checo did not overtake Hamilton, Max celebrated with him and had high words for him. That's what teamwork really is

The initial late brake of Max is outstanding

That's the third double podium in a row for Red Bull Honda! Great to see the constructors championship fight is all open again. And seeing Checo celebrating his first home race podium with a Mexican flag in front off his home crowd after fighting with lewis was just amazing.

I feel bad for Yuki. He had a really strong weekend only to have it derailed by some bad luck

Crazy start to the race! 🤯🤯

its 6t Febreaury and I'm watching those vids lol I can't wait for 2022 season start YEAH
