Perez

Number 71 to the collection ya'll!
So far ahead

Checo is great, Im often cheering for him
But I do feel sorry for him
Suffering from the second-driver-itis (if ya know ya know)
The familiar of course is named after the name RBR races under

95% of the time Checo pulls the same face Michael Cera does. The one that makes it seem like hes being held there against his will- SOMEBODY HELP HIM

Thank you Vestial for his aviator helmet
