In a shocking revelation, a Formula 1 superstar has confessed to favoring a Volkswagen Golf over his luxurious Ferrari and other high-end supercars. Despite being at the pinnacle of motorsport and owning a coveted Ferrari, the F1 driver still finds solace in his humble Golf GTI.

The F1 world was rocked in 2024 with the announcement of Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari, displacing Carlos Sainz in the process. While some may have viewed Sainz’s move to Williams as a step down, the Spanish driver embraced the challenge with grace and determination.

Throughout his F1 career, Sainz has driven for top teams like McLaren and Ferrari, amassing a private collection of impressive cars along the way. However, in a recent interview on the El Cafelito Podcast, Sainz opened up about his unexpected love for his 2012 Volkswagen Golf GTI, a car he has cherished since he was 18 years old.

Despite the allure of high-performance vehicles, Sainz expressed his genuine affection for his Golf GTI, stating, “Today I came here in my Golf, the one I’ve always had, and I’ve always been in a Golf GTI. It’s the Golf GTI that my parents gave me when I was 18 years old.”

While the F1 star’s collection boasts a Ferrari 812 Competizione, which he described as ‘the best-looking car’ he’d ever seen, his heart remains loyal to the unassuming Golf. Sainz’s preference for the practical hatchback over flashy supercars showcases a down-to-earth attitude that sets him apart from the typical celebrity persona often associated with F1 drivers.

Despite the glitz and glamour of the F1 world, Sainz’s choice to stick with his beloved Golf GTI highlights his humility and appreciation for simplicity in a world dominated by speed and luxury.
