[@redbull]

we're so proud to have Checo in the team 🇲🇽

[@Txrbo.jf1]

Not sure if Red Bull will see this but Didn’t you guys almost sack Sergio Perez?

[@PlayersTribuneFootball]

An absolute legend

[@dolcydina5198]

The nicest guy in the current F1 era. I wish he wins in Mexico. Go Checo!!!!

[@angelicajaquelinerosales5297]

Checo is a great pilot, a legend. You deserve to have the same conditions and support as your redbullracing team. We want to see you world champion by 2023

[@7EPLO]

This needs a lot more views. Checo is a beast! his story is heartwarming!

[@davec2310]

This guy is becoming my favorite driver

[@benhaines.5064]

Absolute legend

[@badlieutenant536]

Amazing video, great insight into Checo. Loved it.

[@LM_23]

An inspiration.

[@mandem243.7]

I’m happy to see that not all racers have the same background.
Being the son of a millionaire/billionaire.
Him and Lewis have touching stories.
Hopefully we can get movies of their lives at the end their career.
Keep winning Pedro!🇲🇽🙌

It’s crazy cause in Mexico his family has always been considered elite

[@eiguajardo]

@@MiguelTyson lol, always since when? if they were elite I was a Royal , quit joking.

[@MiguelTyson]

@@eiguajardo Since the Perez-Garibay at family has had more upward mobility in Jalisco than the majority of inhabitants. It’s simple, really.

[@gerardohurtado3394]

Even if they were considered above the average, it is still harder to afford all what is needed to get to that point. Just check average salaries in the region and it will give you an idea.
It's very easy to assume stuff when you haven't lived/experienced anything similar. Most European families would be considered very rich in Mexico back then

[@MiguelTyson]

@@gerardohurtado3394 My father is from Michoacán, he was disadvantaged in Mexico and also here in the US. I know exactly what the spectrum of experience is. The dynamic you are explaining is accurate across the planet. Rich Africans/Arabs are often the visible example in the US.

[@ohmelloyello]

“No one told me how to do this. I did it all on my own.” And this is one of many reasons why Checo will always have my respect. The drive to succeed and accomplish the impossible is admirable.

[@pedropabloescobar442]

Estoy orgulloso de ese niño

[@reptar1]

It will be absolute chaos in Mexico if Checo wins the MexicoGP. I'm praying it becomes reality.

[@jacobculshaw]

What a journey 👏

[@tommy_mila]

Leyenda 🙌🏻

[@elisreginaaparecida2793]

It was great to see you on the podium in the Mexican GP!

[@ryanabbeyseon]

Max wouldn’t have won the 2021 title without him!

[@JJ-oi5vo]

[@slug2ss83]
