It is a tradition to watch this every once in a while

[matepecsi]

This man literally did the Last to First Challenge.

[gauthamsuresh]

And he's just won at Monaco after almost being out of F1. Legend.

[tarkinghd]

Crazy to think that this race actually saved his whole career

[mariomaster]

Perez on lap 1: “Call an ambulance call an ambulance”

Perez on lap 87: “But not for me”

[rossmarino]

9:20 (In Spanish): "Luis, please make sure Checo (his son) is watching the race".... All he wanted was his son to be proud of him.

[andreasalgado]

My dad just gave me a 2 hour long speech on why Checo is a legend and now I'm here confirming it, he is in fact

[NaderHasanMD]

“Keep going Checo, keep going.”
The words that encouraged one of the best races in F1 history…

[NavGTI]

Checo: overtakes literally everyone
Also Checo: what’s my pace like?

[armchairracer]

"genuine puncture?"
"No George it's one of those fake punctures we've been giving Bottas for years"

[NereidPL]

And here we are after his Monaco GP win.

Cemented himself as the greatest Mexican driver in history, so happy for the man!

[armandorodriguez]

This race will go down as one of the greatest races in F1 history. Whether you are a fan or not of Checo, the circumstances were almost of a fairy tale. Him getting dropped from the team and not knowing if he would have a seat the following year, having always been in a midfield car and never won a race and to top it all off dropping to last place in the race and finishing first was nothing short of amazing. So glad RB signed him. the battles between him and Hamilton in 2021 were nothing short of legendary. Fast forward, October 2022 and having just won Singapore GP, Checo is having the best moment of his career. Vamos Checo!!!

[TeamSukiyo]

Sure I wanted George to win, but if it couldn’t be him, I’m thrilled it was Checo. This is one of the most impressive things I have ever seen in F1.

[saliherkan]

No wild strategies, no undercuts, no drama. Just pure driving. A well-deserved victory for Checo.

[christianduran]

It was touching when Checo told Luis that, make sure his son was watching the race. He undoubtedly wanted his son to have a lesson on how to fight in life no matter what the obstacles.

[lazthegreat]

190th race, from last to first for the first win.

Unbelievable stuff, absolutely legendary

[slovaklife]

Those images of Checo with his arms spread and fireworks going off behind him are epic.

[Millionaire_Mindset]

Once a world champion said “Perez is a legend “

[mohitspatil]

I am following F1 from last two-three years, but this race made me a true fan of formula one.

Every year we get very few races where top championship leaders with best cars are not fighting for victory.

This race was about a man who has no confirmed driving seat, last on first lap, fighting for his survival in formula one and despite all of this checo rose like a phoenix and won this race.

Thank you Checo.

[fernandoarana]

I came back when Checo won at Baku
I came back when Checo got podium at Mexico
I came back when Checo became a legend at Abu dhabi
I came back when Checo made his first pole at Jeddah
I came back when Checo won at Monaco
and it always brings me tears of joy
i'm sure i'll be back soon...
And yeah here i am! after Checo leading every lap and winning
with authority at Singapore
And after Checo with an astonishing race at Suzuka he brought
forward the celebration of Max's second world championship
Now all hype is in Mexico hoping he can win at home!
