The excited Spaniard entered the headquarters in awe. Still, he wasn’t nervous. “I’ve been here many times so it’s nothing new at the moment.” Carlos Sainz also revealed that he will be giving away his Volkswagen Golf, which his parents gave him when he was 18. After going through so many teams in his career, Sinz saved the big decision for the best.

If you look at colors and designs, Sainz was a kid in a candy store in the Tailor Made area. However, Sainz had a dilemma. “The car itself is really nice; For me it is the most beautiful car right now, so I decided to buy it.

Either way, the car would define Sainz, whose features on the track include aggression paired with elegance.
Carlos Sainz ready for Jeddah
The new Saudi Arabian track is another obscure backdrop for the F1 pool. But Carlos Sainz knows one thing for sure: the fight in midfield is far from over. While the Prancing Horses have a 39.5 lead over McLaren, there is still a lot to fight for.

Jeddah is the fastest street circuit in the field; it is second only to Monza, the Temple of Speed. While McLaren may have the advantage, Alpha Tauri has shown an incredible pace.
With this in mind, Sainz believes that the coming weekend will not be easy. “It looks like a very high speed circuit and we have seen on a high speed circuit that the field suddenly compresses a lot on cars like Alpine, McLaren and AlphaTauri when it is a high speed circuit. So it could be a very close fight in Jeddah. “
