Monaco F1 Champ Sergio Perez reveals the surprising playlist he listens to before every big race
The man known to fans as “Checo,” says there are actually many parallels between F1 racing and tequila. “Succeeding in the world of F1 is very similar to mastering the craft of tequila making,” he says dutifully. “It takes passion and tireless dedication to achieve perfection. Just like the art of tequila production,” he adds, “racing is a team effort. Everyone plays a vital role using their unique talents with meticulous precision to produce the highest standard of quality in performance.
The driver adds that both tequila making and auto racing require many hands on deck. “At least 60 hands touch every single bottle of Patrón before it leaves the distillery,” he shares, “[while] upwards of 75 hands touch my car before I leave the pit and begin to race. It is important to not compromise quality for efficiencies in both racing and tequila making.”and tequila, Perez says he’s also a huge music fan, sharing a memory about meeting one of his favorite artists a few years ago.
The kicker: “I ended up finishing on the podium that race,” Perez says, citing Iglesias as a good luck charm. “Now every time he plays at an F1 event I invite him to the garage, and he invites me to his concerts.” Perez’s win at Monaco was the first time he’s stood atop the podium this year, and his third Formula 1 win overall. This was also his second win racing for Red Bull, having taken the flag at Baku last year . Checo will be looking to repeat as champ in Baku in two weeks, when the drivers take to the course at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.For now, Perez is celebrating his Monaco win, presumably with some Patrón.
The pride of Mexico adds that it’s always tequila season though, “when I’m relaxing and spending time with my familia at home.” His favorite drink: a simple Patrón Silver & Soda, made with tequila, soda water and fresh lime. “It is light, refreshing and just one sip transports me home to Mexico.”
