[Saba Sports News] Carlos Sainz is one of the top drivers in the F1 racing world. However, Sainz lost his seat at Ferrari as the team signed Lewis Hamilton to a multi-year contract. The topic of which F1 team Sainz will drive for next year has become the hottest topic recently. Recently, some media outlets have made a detailed report on Sainz. What is surprising is that Sainz actually comes from a racing family. His father, Carlos Sainz Sr., is a rallying legend who competed in the World Rally Championship (WRC) from 1987 to 2005 and won the WRC championship in a Toyota Celica in 1990 and 1992. Since then, the Spaniard has continued to write his own legend in the Dakar Rally. In 2010, Carlos Sainz won the Dakar Rally for the first time driving a special version of the Volkswagen Touareg. In 2018, he won this legendary event driving a Peugeot 3008; in 2020, he won the championship driving a Mini John Cooper Works Buggy; in 2024, at the age of 61, he won the championship again driving an Audi RS Q e-tron. Carlos Sainz becomes a four-time Dakar champion. But Carlos Sainz is not satisfied with this. He has decided to represent the Ford Performance Team in the 2025 Dakar Rally, with the goal of securing his fifth Dakar Rally victory.
