This was our favourite picture from the post-race celebrations in Baku in Sunday. Force India's Sergio Perez finished in third place in the Grand Prix of Europe, the second time in three races that the Mexican driver has finished on the podium having also tasted success in last month's Monaco Grand Prix.

He's obviously getting a taste for this sort of success, and also for champagne celebrations - although from the look of it he's coming off worst in the podium celebrations as race winner Nico Rosberg and second-place man Sebastian Vettel team up to make sure he gets a face full!
