The drinks are on us

Force India's Sergio Perez spent Saturday morning before qualifying competing with his team mate Nico Hulkenberg to build the tallest tower of Hype Energy drinks cans, but on Sunday afternoon he had a very different drink on hand to celebrate clinching third place in the Monaco Grand Prix.

We loved this picture bringing you right into what it feels like to be celebrating on the main straight, just in front of the podium. Perez has six podiums to his career to date, three when he was with Sauber and now three (on each in in consecutive seasons) with his current team. It's getting to be a bit of a habit, so let's hope we see him splashing the champagne around again real soon!
