- In the latest episode of Talking Bull, the Official Oracle Red Bull Racing podcast, Nicola Hume is joined by none other than Sergio "Checo" Perez and his race engineer, Hugh Bird. Filmed at the Red Bull Technology Campus, Checo and Hugh talk about how they were first paired together back in the 2021 #F1 season, the key roles of a race engineer and what needs to be said over the Team Radio, and the importance for communication in Formula 1.

Please show more of this Sergio! He's a sorted, cool, mature and talented guy! I really don't care about the negativity, I am really rooting for Checo in 2023 & beyond!
The way Hugh understands Checo’s English, It’s very peculiar, Because Checo speaks English but sometimes thinking in Spanish, and Checo has a very Latin sense of humor, sometimes ironic, and Hugh picks it up right away. Both in high and low times. They now each other have their best oportunity in each other career.
Checo is a nice guy with a good heart, amazing driver.
He is a nice guy with a good heart indeed
@@J.e.r.o.e.n I see what you did there...
fr, and he's also very consistent
@@alidanish yes, sometimes he is very consistent
Boo hoo, dude.@@J.e.r.o.e.n
I have to say Nicola Hume does a very good job hosting these.
No way it's nicola who interview both of them. I love her personality
She really does a wonderful job.
So happy to see there's a good relationship between Hugh and Checo. Checo is so kind with Hugh who looks a bit nervous. They really talk as a team and it seems they learning a lot from each other.
Duh…Checo talks in interviews each day……Hugh never, ofc he’s a bit nervous
Imagine after the interview Checo just beats the living day out of Hugh 😂 telling him to get it together!
@@Redlingsteinnah, he's just a bit like that. I met him once for a few minutes. He's just an awkward Big Bird kinda guy, but I don't mean that in an offensive way. He's a lovely person and at the top of his game.
Is not the same friendship that max and gp has
The best moment was surely when checo was able to guess the tracks just by focusing on the sounds of the engine and throttle . How much instinct and feel is involved with these drivers - it’s fascinating. There is a great driver still in there - Checo. Redbull don’t give up on this guy , not yet atleast
What about now he didn't make q3 again? How much more time should he realistically get?
Probably last year would be his last with RB
@@twanvanderdonk2504what's the harm in giving him another year? Max won the constructors by himself.... It's not like they would have won it twice if Checo had a better year. So give him at least his contractual rights to drive next year....
@@michael-masi-2021My guy... He's almost losing 2nd place in the championship right now. That's the harm. What if their car isn't 20 seconds clear of the rest of the field next year? Checo may lose them the constructor's title. 1 point in a sprint weekend when his teammate scored 33 out of 34 possible. In which world is that not an issue? What's the merit of keeping him in the car is a better question. Genuinely. He has failed so many weekends in a row, time after time, getting beaten in Q3 appearances by a Haas. He's getting outscored virutally 2 to 1 by his teammate. It's a bigger gap than when Gasly and Albon were swapped out.
@@twanvanderdonk2504 interesting points. But then who? Surely not Danny Ric.... Liam Lawson would be great choice but they have snubbed him so many times now for a seat he should pull a Piastri... I'm kinda lost for who takes the seat, hence my "why not". I know Checo has let the side down, but at least he didn't torpedo Max in the process.
King of the streets circuit!!! Our most sincere congratulations to you Champion Sergio Perez who has to fight against your own team and bad publicity all year long. You have never given up and you are standing on the podium and shutting the mouths of all those who speak against you. NEVER GIVE UP! You are a champion, an example to follow. Carry that forehead up high that you represent the gifts of honesty, fight, strength, ethics, discipline and courage worthy of a true Warrior. Again CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU CHAMPION 💪🏅🏆 THERE IS MUCH TO LEARN FROM YOU. 🇲🇽
👏👏👏
Nunca te rindas Checo! México está contigo!!
that's really nice to have an opportunity to get to know Checo's race engineer just a little bit better! If I look at non verbal communication I do believe there are good positive vibes between Checo and Big Bird. It's very evident and endearing to notice that Hugh isn't really comfortable at being in the spotlight like here, he comes across as a bit shy and mellow. It's quite "sweet" that Checo says he notices Hugh is a bit nervous here... a thing like that does define Perez as a human. 2023 is a challenging season for them both (the "we" Checo always refers to, I am assuming) would be cool if Perez can pick up a race win before the season ends that we'll see Hugh next to him on the podium again, like in 2022. And oh my gosh... I love those trainers he's wearing!!!
Your assumption is correct. Each time Perez says "we" during interviews, he refers to himself, Hugh, and the rest of the team on his side of the garage. Max and Perez share crew members, but there's also his side and Max's side.
Checo is a legend
Say it louder for those who forgot.
Absolute animal
Hermoso escuchar a checo hablar! Sencillo sincero... simplemente adorable!
😂 I wish Checo would’ve elaborated on “pajarote”
His name is Hugh Bird, us Mexicans/Latinos hear “huge bird” because of our accents which translates to “Pajarote”
😹 love it! Pajarote! will remember that for ever. greets from Netherlands
I absolutely love these podcasts. We learn so much about the team and the RB community. Yet such relaxing atmosphere. Absolutely fabulous. Love Checo and always rooting for him even during his hard times.
A full con Checo!! Desde Merida Yucatan México 🇲🇽
That's what I love about Checo. You've seen him time and again overtake from the back to the points.
Lol yeah he shouldn’t be back there.
@@abscissatv yep, maybe, but is more fun to see him gaining places
That’s the problem…..qualifying too far back….
@@soniagarciarebollo80not for a racing team…
Vamos CHECO SPEED PÉREZ nuestra Águila Azteca
Vamos!!!!!!
@@michael-masi-2021 Vámos
CHECO ,YOU ARE THE BEST, ALL THE WORLD NOWS , YOU ARE A ROLE MODEL . THANK YOU FOR NEVER GIVING UP. GREETINGS FROM TIJUANA MEXICO
Tijuana aquí. 👋🏽
Knows*
So he is the famous guy from " We"ll be looking to hold up Lewis"
Go on, Checo! Yes, mate!!
Byrd got a fighter pilot voice
Want to see checo winning in Mexico this year 🙏 ❤
not going to happen
@@duffy3267Checo is lucky if he's on the podium from the looks of it.
@@twanvanderdonk2504 i hope he made it on the podium for redbull but i tink mclaren will be in front of him 1.VER. 2NOR 3 PIA maby?
Checooooooo❤🇲🇽✨️
Huge crowd to Hugh as well! He's tasked with keeping Checo's morale up along with his own. It must not be easy to see the other side of the garage on a victory roll. I'm sure he and Checo will rise to the challenge next year! 💪😎
checo is such a good guy! i wish him the best
I just love the voice of Bird.
Nicola already raised her portfolio. She should be appointed as media PR for the team
Checo Pérez, es un piloto increíble .
Totally loved this! You should do it more often, we love Checo and Hugh 💛
Loved this episode. Great seeing both Checo and Hugh together.
Besides the common "Max and GP" request, would love to get other figures from the race team on her like Jonathan Wheatley or Pedals, or even some of the other unsung heroes who you'd normally see down in the garage putting in the hours and setting those blistering pit stops.
Good interview, both were honest in their answers , good luck in upcoming races !! Vamos!
Checo ❤❤ I love this man
Love you Chequito and all your team ❤
Checo y Pajarote 😂❤
You'll never run out of work, if you work with checo
39:31 This is very impressive 👏🏼👏🏼
Yeah right?👍🏻😃
Ese Checo es un tipazo 👊👊👊💥🇲🇽
Pongase chingón Pajarote!!! (Huge bird do better!)
I didn't trust him on the radios all the time, but It's good to see that he just seems to be a man of few words but this interaction helps "humanize" him more. Although I'm still salty at RB for a lot of things I think the main problem is their lack of attention to their 2nd garage, difficult car but hope they can get it to work better for Checo to keep fighting!
Checo is a Legend 🥇in Planet & F1🎉
We’ve had Hugh bird and Sergio Perez, now we need Max and GP
Not very soon, they need to clean Redbull image before Mexico GP
@@mechemoyclean what??? What GP and Max has to do with Checo low performance lately ??? Jeez average delusional fan
GP n Max are fans fav having them here ll make many ppl day maybe just not you because you are bitter 😢stay mad .
@@djihanehamdaoui2948it’s about Helmut 🤦🏻♀️ and RB not taking any responsibility/position against his racist comments
@@ailedrivera3562 but what has that to do with GP and Max lol
@@djihanehamdaoui2948 mechemoy said they needed to clean RB image. They’re doing all the PR with Checo before the GP. Also, what does “low performance” from Checo has to do with this? 🤔 Do you realize by Mexico GP stands for Gran Prix and not Gianpiero right? Hahahahahahahahahahah
Loved this interview. Hugh and the garages need more time on screen ❤
What a class act.
¡¡Vamos Checo!!
Checo tqm eres una gran persona y mereces lo mejor siempre 💖
We love you Checo ❤️🇲🇽
deepest voice of f1? great video!
Omg!!! I needed this! ❤❤
When I hear his voice all I can remember is ( back him up ,back him up )
#TeamCheco ❤
We need max and gp to do one of these
O yes. Thhis is so great to have a driver and race engineer combo interview for once. Thanks Hugh for stepping in to the spotlight. Thanks Checo. Great interview. Next task: convince Max & GP 😅
Ame esto solo por Checo ❤
Proud to be a Checo fan 💙 Vamos!
You are the best Checo and Pajarote!
Love this podcast!
These Talking Bull podcasts are really well done, props to the team behind it and Nicola is doing a really good job as the hostess with some really nice followup questions along the interviews.
I hope there will be one along the way that gives a bit of an insight into the IT needed during a race. Is there a mobile server setup going to each track? How much is done at the track / factory? How much data is being processed?
Some of it briefly got touched on during some of the talking bull but would love a more in depth episode about it.
Looking forward to the upcoming podcasts!
Hostess? Haha. I'm sure you've triggered and offended many people with that. I think "presenter" is more appropriate and gender neutral. Hostesses generally bring you drinks no?
@@michael-masi-2021 A presenter to me is someone giving a speech or a presentation where as a host(ess) is someone who is in charge of the (in this case) interview.
A talkshow also generally has a host(ess) with guests.
I'm sorry, but I hear their interactions each race and I think he doesn't provide Checo with vital information or takes care of him properly. Seems more worried about slowing Checo down, managing tyres, than pushing him to run faster. It's frankly odd. While on Max's side he is constantly assisted by GP, Bird's assistance to Checo seems overall lacking. And that reflects on the results. It's bothersome to see Checo's garage have such a mediocre performance for a team so big. He deserves better and is a gentleman not complaining as he should.
Swap their garages and Max is still coming out on top...
@@twanvanderdonk2504 nobody is debating that fact, so why is this response required or even relevant?
There is some truth to what you say. But Bird isn't the one who keeps failing to get out of Q1. Checo has to take that on his own shoulders. I am a Checo fan.
@@twanvanderdonk2504 Of course not. First make some research and then express an opinion. Aren't you watching the video? Bird is a rookie that began as Main Engineer only 3 years ago, and it seems he is not cut for the job. While GP, to start, has years of experience, and was even Checo's engineer before being Max's. The car is developed to Max's driving style. When they began the year with a neutral car, Checo was not far from Max and even won two races. Drivers don't forget how to drive from one day to the next. Even Marko said the car was developed to favor Max. So, at least, hace the decency to admit Max's confort and advantage in contrast with Checo's struggles and incompetent team.
@@michael-masi-2021 Checo needs support from his team and a car that he can drive.
The interviewer is very pretty, Sergio is very cordial, as is Hugh Bird aka Pajarote.
Vamos Checo!!!
I loved the Host! Great interview to the two shy geeks.
please next time bring GP and Max to celebrate the 3WC togheterrrrrrrrrr please
That might be why they're holding off
Great interview! 👍 Checo & Hugh make quite a team. Love how Checo thinks Byrd understands his English...while he's off getting translations done 😅 Vegas went well Hope Abu Dhabi does too! Congrats on 2nd place in the Driver's Championship 🎉
Hugh Bird Have perfect voice for race engineer. Deep and calm
Checo is “El viejo sabroso”.
I had to check out on google.... hahahaa greets from Netherlands. Vamos!
Checo is the bessssst 🤩
Lovely. Good content this.
Let’s go Checo
vamos Checoooo !!! confiamos en ustedes !!!!
vamos checo 💪
First time I watch a whole podcast ❤
6:47 the sound of a wheel gun
Nice, great job!
So if Hugh is Big Bird, then Checo is Ernie and Max is Bert.
Goooo checo gooooooo greats from the netherlands
Te amo checo
As a Mexican fan, Checo is our hero and it will be a true privilege to be in the Mexican GP supporting Checo as best as I can 🇲🇽🙌🏻, vamos Checo!
It’s kind of weird thinking this is the best season ever in F1 for Checo in terms of points, however, we are looking for more consistency and better qualifying sessions, if we can get that from Checo, we will reach the next level 🙏🏼
Overall, it’s been a positive season, even with the mistakes and the hard times, Checo has contributed positively to get the constructor’s championship and I’m confident he’ll be keeping 2nd 🥈 place in the driver’s championship
Can you do me a favor then? And not boo Max?
@@heideroosje12 I’m not planning to do that cause I believe in respect and good manners but I can’t control what others do, is up to every fan how to behave in each race 🙏🏼
Te amo, Checoooo ❤💙
Love the engineer's voice
Amazing voice
Nice episode👍Next time GP please (with or without Max) 🙏
Dream job ❤
Hugh Bird in the podcast: Management Checo
Checooooooo VAMOSSSSSSS

So kind. That’s Checo. 🥲
Love this team 🤍
Please bring GP.

Never give up ⚠️
CHECO❤❤❤
Checo deserve a better (let's say a most experienced) engineer
NEVER GIVE UP.
Checo slick with the "big bird" translation. Naughty naughty.
Checo is the best
Checo bebé ❤
One question I have is....
Hugh, why are you allowing the mechanics to change the configurations of the RB19-B so Checo can't drive it? Are these orders coming from Helmut Marco?
The changes to the car were very obvious in Australia, he was faster in the first half of practice 3 and after the mechanics change it he can't drive the car. On top of that, RedBull team members smile when he goes off track.
Another question I have is....
Remember when Oracle RedBull Racing Tweeted "Following it's investigation into an online incident involving Juri Vips, Oricle Red Bull Racing has terminated Juri's contract as its test & reserve driver. The team does not condone any form of racism." So what should happen to Helmut Marko?
The more I read and investigate of what RedBull is doing to Checo, the more sad I get. Checo NEVER GIVE UP!!!!
Por que no me había salido este video 😊❤
please we need some max and gp
Vamos Checo!
The one reason I follow RD is because of Checo!
Let s go checo perez, watching from AMAZON RAINFOREST ( AMAZONAS RIVER) BRAZIL...
