Carlos Sainz showers praise on former teammate

Carlos Sainz showers praise on former teammate

Williams’s Formula One driver Carlos Sainz lavished praise on his former teammate Lando Norris, who won the F1 Drivers’ World Championship in the 2025 season. Norris finished third in the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at the Yas Marina Circuit on Sunday to claim the World Championship title for the first time in his career, ending Red Bull’s Max Verstappen’s hold on the crown. Sainz called Norris an honest guy and said he was happy for the Briton for breaking the typical stereotypes of a world champion. “More than anything, I’m happy for him as a person because he’s a driver that doesn’t follow the typical stereotypes of a world champion, he’s always stayed true to himself, very honest, very open about his own struggles and proven to everyone you can be world champion being a nice guy, or don’t have to be ruthless or bad***,” Sainz said to the Sky Sports. Norris is the first McLaren driver to have won the title since Lewis Hamilton in 2008. Norris only needed to finish on the podium …

Williams driver Carlos Sainz opens up after being fined for loo break

Williams driver Carlos Sainz opens up after being fined for loo break

Days after he was fined 20,000 pounds with half of the amount being suspended for arriving late for the national anthems at last week’s Japanese Grand Prix, Formula One driver Carlos Sainz has opened up on the controversy arising due to a ‘loo break’ undertaken taken by him prior to the national anthems at the Suzuka circuit. The Williams driver, who finished the Japanese Grand Prix in 14th place after starting from the 15th spot on the starting grid, had faced stomach issues prior to the race and visited a Formula One doctor on his way prior to joining the drivers on the starting grid. “I’m the biggest supporter of punctuality and being, in a way, a gentleman and being punctual to things, especially an anthem with all the authorities there. I was the first one to put my hand up and say: ‘I’m late, I’m sorry for that’. At the same time, I was five seconds late. To be five seconds late and have to pay €10,000 … it’s out of the question that …

Carlos Sainz Says Lewis Hamilton Can Make Ferrari An Even Greater F1 Threat

Carlos Sainz Says Lewis Hamilton Can Make Ferrari An Even Greater F1 Threat

Carlos Sainz, the driver ditched by Ferrari to make way for Lewis Hamilton, believes his old team could now be even better placed to return to the summit of Formula One with the former world champion on board. Hamilton joined Ferrari from Mercedes, with the 40-year-old set to make his debut for the Italian giants at next month’s season-opening Australian Grand Prix as he goes in search of a record-breaking eighth drivers’ world title. Sainz made way for Hamilton’s move, with the 30-year-old Spaniard now lining up for Williams instead in Melbourne on March 16 after spending three years driving alongside Charles Leclerc at Ferrari. But Sainz, speaking at British team Williams’s 2025 launch at Silverstone on Friday, said: “When I left, I did feel that both Ferrari and Charles were ready to fight for a world championship, and with Lewis joining that is only going to increase. “I have never been team-mates with Lewis so I don’t know what he is capable of doing. I have never seen his data. I have …

Carlos Sainz chasing fifth Dakar Rally title, this time with a new manufacturer

Carlos Sainz chasing fifth Dakar Rally title, this time with a new manufacturer

Carlos Sainz is hoping to set a record as the Dakar Rally’s oldest champion while also becoming the first racer to win with five different car manufacturers in the two-week marathon, which begins this weekend in Saudi Arabia. Carlos Sainz Sr. made his Dakar debut in 2006, two years after Nasser Al Attiyah. He was the first of the two to be named to the roll of honour in 2010, but the Qatari champion eventually surpassed him and now has five trophies on his shelf. After winning his fourth race in a hybrid Audi last year, ‘El Matador’ is catching up and hopes to level the race with the Ford Raptor that he will drive for the M-Sport team. The Dakar Rally originated in 1978 as a race from Paris across the Sahara to Senegal’s capital, but was moved to South America in 2009 due to security concerns. It relocated to Saudi Arabia in 2020 and has since been the FIA World Rally Raid Championship’s flagship. His 18-year-long adversary Nasser Al Attiyah is in a …

A historic partnership between Ferrari and driver Carlos Sainz came to an end on Tuesday and the outgoing racer was given a fitting farewell – a special F1 track day at Fiorano, driving alongside his father. The Fiorano Circuit is a private racetrack owned by Ferrari near the Italian town of Maranello and is used for development and testing purposes. Sainz drove Ferrari’s 2022 F1 challenger and the Williams-bound driver was on track with his father, Carlos Sainz Snr.

Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton will be seen in Ferrari colours next season. “Like son, like father! Grazie Scuderia Ferrari,” Sainz wrote on his Instagram, which accompanied a video of him and his father driving on track at Fiorano. Sainz had remarkable success at Ferrari and was always a favourite within the team. During his time, he became a Grand …
