Sergio Perez has repeatedly won fans’ hearts with his sweet gestures. From standing up for his colleagues during Force India’s tumultuous years to lauding mechanics and engineers’ work after a win, Checo never fails to impress. His latest gift for all 1,400 Red Bull employees after a championship-winning season has again garnered respect.

In an utter show of dominance, Red Bull won both championships for the first time since the 2013 season. In a season with 22 races, the team won 17 races. While Perez contributed to just 2 of those wins, his overall contribution was no mean feat. The Mexican driver finished third in the standings, securing 305 points of the team’s total of 759.

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.

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.

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

Another fan praised Checo for his sweet gesture.
