Күн бұрын

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.

@@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.

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. 🇲🇽

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!!!

@anameyoucantremember 7 ай бұрын

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.

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!

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!

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.

@@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.
