Portuguese term or phrase: desse o bote

Mas a história mudou nas últimas curvas, quando Jenson Button – que na mesma prova bateu duas vezes, foi seis vezes para o box e ainda recebeu uma punição – ultrapassou o rival, que demorou a frear e abriu demasiadamente, permitindo que o piloto da McLaren desse o bote, vencendo de forma heroica.
