Reutemann

Number 69 (nice)
And a HUGE thank you to Eeveecraft for selling me this boyo

Now yes he did best with Williams- but Carlos seems to be far more known for being with Ferrari (I mean, you look up images of him and its all of him in Ferrari)
So to reflect his successes with Williams I have named his familiar after their biggest sponsor at the time. Albilad; eventually became Saudi Arabian Airlines

Yes I should have gotten him sooner dont @ me
He's one of the few drivers to have a political career (and a fairly successful one at that)

Not the most gifs but a lot of cool images so bear with me

Formula One World Championship career Nationality: Argentinian Active years: 1972–1982 Teams: Brabham, Ferrari, Lotus, Williams Entries: 146 Championships: 0 Wins: 12 Podiums: 45 Career points: 298 (310) Pole positions: 6 Fastest laps: 6 First entry: 1972 Argentine Grand Prix First win: 1974 South African Grand Prix Last win: 1981 Belgian Grand Prix Last entry: 1982 Brazilian Grand Prix Carlos Alberto "Lole" Reutemann (12 April 1942 – 7 July 2021) was an Argentine racing driver who raced in Formula One from 1972 to 1982, and later became a politician in his native province of Santa Fe, for the Justicialist Party, and governor of Santa Fe in Argentina. As a racing driver, Reutemann was among Formula One's leading protagonists between 1972 and 1982. He scored 12 Grand Prix wins and six pole positions. In 1981 while driving for Williams he finished second in the World Drivers' Championship by one point, having been overtaken in the last race of the season. Reutemann also finished in third overall three times for three separate teams, 1975 for Brabham, 1978 for Ferrari, and 1980 for Williams. To date he is the last Argentine driver to win a Grand Prix. In terms of race wins, his final Ferrari season in 1978 was his most successful with four wins, but he fell short to the consistency of the Lotus team with Mario Andretti and Ronnie Peterson and was not in championship contention to the final race. He finished third, just behind Peterson, who had died in an accident at Monza earlier that autumn. In 1981, Reutemann instead relied on consistency, but narrowly lost out to Nelson Piquet for the title. He became the second Formula One driver after Leo Kinnunen to be at the podium of a World Rally Championship event, when he finished third in the 1980 and 1985 editions of Rally Argentina. He was also for three decades the only Formula One driver to score drivers' championship points in both F1 and WRC, until Kimi Räikkönen's eighth place at the 2010 Jordan Rally. As a popular governor and a senator, he was considered by some, on several occasions, to be a worthy candidate for President, but while he considered running for president in the 2011 Argentine general election he declined to do so.

Reutemann died in a medical facility in Santa Fe, Argentina on 7 July 2021 after suffering from issues relating to a haemorrhage as well as other health issues.
