Don't ignore Checo during this... his role is crucial

[Prins.F]

Checo: “Let’s get them” when he let Max through…. What a guy!!!

[brickbrack_]

Mad respect for Checo "let's get them" sent chills of excitement down my spine. Loving this pairing

[bobbobby]

As important as Checo’s skills, his mentality and ways of thinking is so important for RB to win the championship.

[Ergil]

When Bottas says he told them it shouldve been a two-stopper they just ignore him and later on snaps at him. When Hamilton says the same thing: "sorry this is on us".

Perez letting Verstappen pass: "Let's get them". What a team player. My respect!

So refreshing to see Hamilton being the “hunted” after all these years.

Checo letting Max through and saying “Let’s get them.” Then you could hear Max on his teamradio saying “Thank Checo.” And after the race Checo went to shake Max’ hand and Max just pulled him into a tight hug. Gotta love those two

*Checo let’s Verstappen past*
“Let’s get them”
RADIO “The race is on”

[DaleDriven]

Redbull is definitely cutting onions. From Checo’s “let’s get them”, to “the race is on”, and the final lap message, “the gap is 1.6, I’ll leave you to it.” This team is on fire and I love them for it. Let’s go Redbull Honda! Honda, please stay!

Bono: Verstappen should be 1.5 sec behind us

Max going past Lewis right at pit entrance: *Gud ebening*

[rushankuma]

"Let's" and "Them".
Checo said it correctly. Max got Lewis and Checo got Bottas.

[SIDEWAYSOFFICIAL]

It's honestly beautiful that after so many seasons of dull Mercedes victories, RB is finally capable of battling them head on. This season is the best in years.

Drive To Survive's rendition of this is gonna be crazy

[capelli]

I want a ''inside story'' of this!

I love how Perez is so cool and saying "let's get them!" as he let Max pass

[bramusa]

- In Azerbaijan Max was at Perez’s win celebration, even though he suffered a heartbreaking puncture.
- In France Perez gifted Verstappen the win, by staying out so long in the first stint.
That team radio response after he let Max by says it all: ‘let’s get them’.
Max and Ricciardo was an amazingly fun teammate experience, Max and Perez has become an amazingly effective force.
IF Verstappen manages to become world champion it is going to be due to amazing teamwork from everyone at Red Bull, INCLUDING Checo. I’m really enjoying this competitive teamwork to achieve their goal.

AND Lewis’s professionalism analytic capabilities in defeat is also absolutely masterful. He might be the most gracious ‘loser’ (hard to use that term when speaking about Hamilton) I’ve ever seen in sports.

Hearing the crowd roar when Max took P1....you know who is the people's champ...
