Sergio Perez, The Pass over Albon, 'Drive to Survive'

[SSBMGarcha]

God I love this episode. Perez gonna make Aston Martin regret their decision this year.

There is also a sub plot to this. Perez was to be discarded by Racing team after the final race in 2020.
That was also in Abu Dhabi only. But he started from 12th position and won that race. Perez said after that race that "I want to be remembered that I gave my all for the team as a true team man".
Horner recruited him in Red Bull in 2021 since he believed in him when no one else did.
Fast forward 12 months and we are at the last race of 2021 at the same venue.
Perez blocked Hamilton to reduce the gap with Verstappen from 10 seconds to 1 sec, otherwise in the final Lap Hamilton should have been 40 seconds ahead and could have done the pitstop to do the soft tyre change.
Then Horner said at lap 52 that "We need a miracle to win."
God gave him that miracle since he did that good karma to Perez exactly 1 year back.
Universe works in mysterious ways. 🙂🙏

Sometimes Netflix overdoes it, but man this scene is incredibly well-done.

That's how ten years of experience look like

That was a pass and a half. Right on the edge, yet fair stuff from both drivers. But Checo was on fire that day.

I’ve been watching this almost everyday, just finished the french GP and here i am again

[Rosweld]

This was the moment that shoved Perez right to the top for the current drivers!! He has stayed up there and earned his well deserved seat at Redbull. Huge congrats to Checo for the 2024 contract extension!!!! Cant wait to see your talent continue to grow Mr Mexican Minister of Defense!! VAMOS CHECO!!!

[Yahniboy]

I think at that moment Horner was hoping Perez was going to pass Albon to cement his decision to drop Albon and take Perez

[chrisgonz]

Y'all know Albon was in that Red Bull like MONICAAAA!!!!" 😭🤣

[Dingleberry]

One of the most perfectly executed outside overtake I’ve ever seen

[avotro]

1:11 even Otmar wanted Sergio to get that RedBull seat

[martinbartoloaguirre]

POR LEJOS, EL MEJOR CAP. DE DRIVE TO SURVIVE, CASI LLORO AL FINAL 🔥🔥🔥

[MichaelJohnson-tjkx]

That overtake is just so beautiful, both the cars perfectly in sync. Great car control by Perez

[AlfonsoCabrera]

Otmar saying: "He needs a drive, pal" just show how one-sided was Stroll decision to kick out Checo for Vettel.

[JOSE..]

0:13 "I want your place now and I want your car next year."

[e.]

Im glad dts brought attention to this overtake because the British commentary completely overlooked this move in the actual race

[joseluisborboa]

Este muchacho Pérez lo pusimos entrenar en la Ruta de Chapultepec - la Villa y todo el periférico de la CDMX esquivando patrullas, . Jajajaja la cara de "no manches" de Christian Hornner jajajaja.
