Max Verstappen\u00a0joined in with chants about his team-mate\u00a0Sergio Perez as footage emerged of the Las Vegas Grand Prix winner’s antics at the team’s afterparty. Red Bull’s celebrations went on late into the night after Verstappen and Perez secured a double podium at the inaugural race on the converted Las Vegas strip, with the reigning world champion jubilantly belting out a song about his colleague.<\/p>\n

Verstappen clinched his 18th win of the season in Las Vegas after a thrilling battle with Charles Leclerc and Perez, who finished third having led 15 laps from the finish. It was enough to get the 33-year-old smiling after narrowly missing out in Brazil to Fernando Alonso, securing his first podium since Monza, and Red Bull celebrated the occasion with a lavish Sin City afterparty.<\/p>\n

Footage has emerged on social media from the bash, with Verstappen letting loose having already wrapped up the Drivers’ Championship at the Qatar Grand Prix. In the video, the 26-year-old driver can be seen dancing and singing along to chants before fans begin singing about Perez.<\/p>\n

With a drink in hand and appearing in good spirits, Verstappen joined in with the chants, singing: “Checo! Checo!” – Perez’s nickname – to the tune of ‘Ole! Ole! Ole!.<\/p>\n

The song broke out at the Mexican Grand Prix where Perez crashed out at his home race, with fans backing their favourite driver. He also received a warm reception in Las Vegas, with thousands of Mexicans making the short trip north to Nevada.<\/p>\n

Verstappen looked out to the crowd beneath and gave them multiple thumbs up before socialising with some of the partygoers around him. The three-time world champion seemed to enjoy singing about his team-mate, reinforcing the idea that the pair maintain a positive relationship as team-mates.<\/p>\n

When the Dutchman’s face appeared, fans at the party decided to honour the race winner with his very own trademark tune as they sang verbatim: “Duh duh duh-duh, Max Verstappen!”<\/p>\n
