Carlos Sainz is a very popular Formula 1 driver.
Fans gathered in large numbers to get photos and autographs from the Ferrari F1 driver as he arrived in Barcelona before the Spanish Grand Prix. Sainz, who is originally from Madrid, Spain, is well received wherever he goes. However, the support and admiration from his fellow countrymen are particularly strong in his homeland.
Sainz has achieved success this season, winning the Australian Grand Prix and making a strong impression with the Maranello-based team. Upon arriving in Barcelona, a video circulated on social media, showing Spanish citizens expressing their love for the three-time race winner as he signed autographs and interacted with fans.
Sainz is about to leave Ferrari after four successful seasons, in which he has achieved three victories and 20 podium finishes for the team. As he prepares to bid farewell, his goal is to deliver an exceptional performance in his home race, the Spanish Grand Prix, aiming for a win or a podium finish.
Ferrari team principal, Fred Vasseur, provided insight into his leadership approach and philosophy. Vasseur joined Ferrari at the beginning of the 2023 season and implemented significant changes within the team.
Vasseur’s impact on Ferrari has been remarkable, bringing about a revitalized transformation in a short period of time. According to Vasseur, this success can be attributed to a simple process of putting the right people in the right positions, resulting in positive outcomes for the team.
Currently, Ferrari holds the second position in the constructors’ championship and is a strong contender for the title. However, with two-thirds of the season remaining, consistency will be crucial for Ferrari if they aspire to claim championship honors at the end of the year.
