What Red Bull Never Revealed About My Shock Exit: Sergio Perez
Video Overview & Insights
#SergioPerez #ChecoPerez #Formula1 #f1overtake
I always believed that Redbull car was biased towards Max even though they denied it. Lewis was not allowed to win 2021 because he being replaced by Max Verstappen as the face if the sport. So Max's image had to be protected and embellished at all costs. Therefore the ex drivers/pundits started changing their opinion about the car being biased towards Max and started to align with the Formula 1 program that makes Max look like alien type driver. To me he is definitely one of the best drivers of all time in F1 but he is not head and shoulders above the top drivers if today F1. No one is!
15 seasons, Cadillac F1 driver Sergio 'Checo' Perez has established himself as one of the most experienced drivers on the grid, earning 6 Grand Prix victories and finishing 2nd in the 2023 World Championship.
Sergio walked into Red Bull Racing in 2021 knowing the team was built around Max Verstappen, and was told early on that they operated with a clear number one driver structure. He spent four years in one of the most demanding seats in Formula 1, navigating a final period he describes as increasingly difficult.
Checo is incredible
In this episode, Sergio exposes the politics of the paddock to share the raw truth of his Formula 1 career. He opens up about the brutal reality of the Red Bull garage, the betrayal of losing his seat days before his historic victory at Sakhir, and how a lonely childhood living in a German truck-stop motel built his unbreakable mindset.
Sergio also reflects on his next chapter with Cadillac, the lessons he’s taken from his time in F1, and the importance of learning to enjoy the journey while you’re in it.
Checo it’s a legend for the history in F1 legend like senna, Prost,fitipaldi
This is a powerful conversation about resilience, self-belief, and performing under relentless pressure.

Lol his family was upper class in Mexico!!🤡 His father was "only" a millionaire politician and businessman, not a billionaire? I guess that's what he means. i.e. they weren't going to pay to fly him and his gear all over Europe. He's a great driver, don't misunderstand me, i just hate that entitled bs.

no existiera max sin checo y preguntenle a lewis
@reversomx2002mgCheco is an inspiration to all of us who are doubted and sometimes seen as less than. Proof that it’s the person and the drive nothing else! Grácias Checo, you make me and many others proud to be Mexican. Class act!
@JosePerez-ck5edDoes anybody know if the “memento” they gave him is a picture we can find online? Or if high-performance themselves posted it anywhere?
@azulejohiugaWe used to chat on msn checo and myself when he was still in f3, i knew he would reach f1 from his videos he showed me back then
@FirashelouExcelente Sergio checo Pérez muy buen piloto completo... qué carácter.. firme y fuerte asta el fin
@manueldominguez9444Gracias Sergio gracias por representar a Mexico en F1, pero como FIFA todas estas organizaciones son carteles.
@rob8392Hay un poco de video en tu Ai
@UniversWellnessSystemYou got wrong , Sergio Perez like others f1 drivers need a winner car....so, today Verstappen can't win just because is the best driver....Sergio with a winner car can WIN EVERYTHING!!!!....HE DEMONSTRATED IN THE PAST ....SO, HE IS VERY GOOD DRIVER !!!
@christianflores4776EN EL 19:28 HABLA DE LIAM LAWSON SIN MENCIONAR SU NOMBRE LOL
@LUISMENDOZATORRESIt seems the problem wasn't the RB... Hadjar is confirming that.
@Maranello-l7kFunny thing is, we are talking about one of the most elite sports in the world. Red Bull is a brand, a HUGE one, Max is also a brand. Marry them together it is a great business duo. Moving into that team as the number 2 seat, you can winge and complain that is it Max's team, but guess what.. youre lucky to have the seat, and you have to give something to show that no, it isnt Max's team, its yours.. give them a reason to look at you instead. Checo, and none other than Ricciardo were good enough to do this... Checo shouldnt have lasted anywhere near aslong as he did, but he had his buy in team with sponsors paying his way.. He isnt grateful, he is spoilt and sour. The one person I wish would have gone to RB would have been Bottas.. I truely think he would have been able to make it work. Be better than Max, or settle for the second seat, or go elsewhere, what else can you expect?
@TheJohn0363Over delivered??? YUKI was clearly a bit faster than him
@jasonjackson5493This new car just doesnt fit him at all.....great guy but he's clearly not what he used to be considering bottas is about a second quicker than him right now but hes being paid as a number 1 driver for Cadillac
@jasonjackson5493Imagine shilling AG1 in 2026 😂💀
@Blynx1991I love Checo so much as a driver. hopefully Cadillac gives them a stronger, more competitive car later this year or next year.
@SolWar16Numbers don't lie... Mid 2022 season Checo was right next to Max and then suddendly he forgets how to drive 🤨 sure... took all 2025 to remove all the knives he had in his back 😢
@andyFC83❤❤❤
@Aleana_77Such a great driver and first of all person and example of dedication and mental strength. Great interview, guys!
@VAwait4itRFSo glad you kept goin checo. Watched your whole f1 career
@dvddobsonEstupenda entrevista, de las mejores que le han realizado a Checo. Felicidades y por supuesto ya me suscribí. 🙂
@erikasahagun8604Is anyone actually surprised by his comments regarding red bull? We’ve know for years they’re a one man band and only run a second car because they legally have to
@christiansimmons630Fantastic interview. What an incredible human. I didn't know anything about Checo and his background until this. Just wow.
@v3listubeSergio has definitely signed a non disclosure around his time at RedBull.
He could have told us alot more but you've got to give credit to the guy he's the upmost professional and obviously has a lot of respect for people's privacy.
He's clever too because he doesn't burn bridges and leaves relationships on good terms. F1 is a whirlwind of swaps and changes and you never know where you might end up and who with, bravo for that Checo its a big brain move that others should have followed throughout their careers.
The way red bull is run taints Max's credibility as a truly awesome driver. I wonder whether he would have won all those championships if the car was built to suit both drivers.
@bmm760036the timestamps are offset to left, they are faulty
@AnishDeshpande-x7o35:34 I’m proudly mexican and i cried when Checo has his first victory on F1, in Barein. It was absolutly amazing!!! Pure driving, pure talent!! 🇲🇽
@fabianarandagarcia3859The interviewer on the left asks questions as if he's Sigmund Freud looooool
@AlbertoRay-x5zSergio Pérez siempre será un orgullo para México 🇲🇽
@ivanolea9411Ahora entiendo mejor a Checo y lo admiro aún más 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
@ryujin76#oracleredbull racing made the biggest mistake in not backing #CHECO and it shows. They have sucked since he left and he knew this would happen and politically stated it. #VCARB will surpass #REDBULL due to this as they listen to their drivers equally. MAXVERSTAPPEN is a great RACER and knows how to extract the very best of every car he has ever inherited but he has struggled to give the feedback to build the car and it shows. I bet had they taken what CHECO was saying about the cars like in his time at FORCEINDIA/ASTINMARTIN they would have turned it around within that following season. CHECO deserves a seat at another top team but he is committed to improving CADILLAC and that is awesome!!
@robledochavez86Probelma xd
@kramex1984Sergio Perez one of Greatest F! Driver!!!
@RobertGonzalez-j5zUn gran piloto, gran ser humano sobre todo!! Vamos Checo 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
@MessiOsmaCheco is a man amongst men!!! He lives up to everything I always loved about him. You are destined for so much more, Sergio!!!
@westlylewis1What an absolute pleasure it has been to watch this episode with Checo!!!! Thanks guys.
