Another reason why Perez was a great choice for Red Bull! Amazing defence!

This is honestly one of the best battles of this race. Though some might say this race was boring, small battles like this makes it worth it.

Hamilton: "I will challenge Verstappen"
Perez: "no, I don't think you will"

And Checo repeated the defence in Abu Dhabi - taking him to legend and animal status.

It took 10 years for some F1 fans to realise Perez's masterclass in racecraft.

[ModernDIYCraftsman]

That was the best moment of the Race. Perez showed his caliber.

[DanialStreetFighter]

I just came here to say Perez was so on point with his defense.

[exodus]

I can imagine Checo having the biggest smile on his face after this

[ncubica]

Who would imagine that two months later the Mexican minister of defence, will do the same to hamilton and ... the rest is history! Sergios perez legend!

[HHPYEPIC]

This is what Perez can really do and it’s great to watch

[quantumodality]

Can't stop watching this. It's pure joy watching Checo defend.

[ahmedoji]

It is crazy how Perez found a grip outside the dry line to outbrake Lewis and regained the position

[Mario_RX]

Checo and Alonso are the only drivers I’ve seen actually try to defend against Lewis.

[LuisRdzG]

"That's what we've been waiting for" Oh Jenson, that joy in his voice describes all of us during this battle

[luispaulopizzosilva]

In my humble opinion Checo was the driver of the day, Sergio and Yuki really Helped Max today! I loved it! Keep charging guys!

[maxdarrow]

I love how controlled Perez was coming out of the last corner. I feel like a lot of drivers would have picked up too much throttle to try and hold onto that position. Excellent driving.

[GrossJean]

"Perez seems to have that straight line speed advantage over Hamilton" 🤓

[mphmtb]

Love how Lewis does his special “off the track you go” signature move. Then Perez calmly comes back past whilst being the gentleman and leaving room. Bravo 👏

[MrElpajita]

Checo and Yuki showed extremely great defensive driving against Lewis, and that isn't an easy task.

[arisgates]

Checo's driving is just too smooth to watch
Really satisfying
