Sergio Perez expresses his gratitude to Red Bull employees with a special gift
After finishing the season on a career-high and with the holiday season approaching, Sergio Perez gifted each Red Bull employee a bottle of tequila. The bottle comes from the Mexican brand Patron, who collaborated with Perez on the product.
As per Joe Pompliano, the total cost of all bottles could be around $55,000. Each bottle came with a special note from Checo.
“Thank you for all of your hard work and support this season,” the note read. “I’m so proud to be part of the Red Bull family. Wishing you a wonderful holiday.”
“Enclosed, please enjoy a bottle of the number one super premium tequila in the world, Patron tequila.”
“Looking forward to next season. Salud! Checo Perez.”
Look at how Twitter fans reacted to Perez’s class act.
Nice gesture from Checo: gifting all 1,400 Red Bull F1 employees a bottle of Patron 📸 @jp1_design
Some fans suggested the gift did not really come from Perez as Patron was his sponsor.
However, some fans came to his defense as it was the gesture that mattered and not whether the brand sponsored the gifts.
Also, checo is very well known to make nice gestures like that for his team. there’s so many pictures of him taking out his team for dinner and stuff like that, he’s a nice person. I don’t understand the outrage for a fucking bottle of tequila 💀
One fan told Checo was an ambassador and investor of the brand. Therefore, even if the gifts came from Patron, Perez’s owrevenues would also take a hit
FYI: Checo is an ambassador and investor of Tequila Patron, plus the gift to RB Team maybe be part of the revenues of the brand sponsorship pays to him as an ambassodor of Tequila Patron, cheers
So, Checo has gifted every single one of 1400 Oracle Redbull Racing employees with a bottle of Patron Tequila. Good lad 👏 Warm them up for what's coming next year 😜 #F1 * I wonder if Helmut received one too
Another fan praised Checo for his sweet gesture.

Nice way of rewarding employees and building a culture of employee engagement. Also, branding for @Patron #sportsmarketing
Sergio Pérez has gifted all 1,400 Red Bull F1 employees a bottle of Patrón Tequila for their work this season. The total cost would likely be around $55,000 — but he has a brand deal with the company, so I assume he got them for free. Still a nice gesture 👏 (📸: jp1_design)
