Sergio ‘Checo’ Pérez celebrated his victory in the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix in style this Sunday and did so by jumping into the water, but not as the ‘Marriage’ is popularly known, but into a swimming pool in the urban circuit as part of a Red Bull ritual for the winners.
After participating in the podium celebration and the subsequent press conference, Checo went to the pool looking to fulfill the bet he had made with the Fox Sports reporter, Juan Fossaroli; He had asked him before the race if he would jump into the pool and they ended up sealing the pact, something that the journalist recalled for the television station.
“There is a bet with ‘Checo’: if he wins, I have to jump with him from above into the pool, as Mark Webber, Chris Horner did on occasion… I’m going to let ‘Checo’ and I’m going to see if it’s deep”, Fossaroli told Fox Sports.
After Checo Pérez’s victory, Fossaroli was the first to ask him about the bet and Pérez answered yes, with the condition that he had to go with him.
In the end, the Mexican ended up being the one who threw Fossaroli into the water, taking advantage of an oversight by the journalist and with the complicity of his surroundings.
As if that were not enough, Pérez ended up jumping into the water with former Mexican President Felipe Calderón, who He was on the circuit fulfilling tasks as director of the Environment and Sustainability Commission of the International Automobile Federation (FIA).
This Red Bull tradition of jumping into the water after a victory by its drivers is not recent; in the past other victorious drivers such as David Coulthard (third place, 2006), Max Webber (winner, 2006) and Daniel Ricciardo (2022) also echoed the post Monaco Grand Prix ritual.
