Born into one of Spain’s most famous racing dynasties as the son and namesake of Carlos Sainz – a two-time World Rally Champion – it was perhaps inevitable Sainz Jr would follow in his father’s footsteps by pursuing a career in motorsport.
Recognising he’d need a strong campaign to retain Red Bull’s faith and backing, Sainz subsequently delivered with seven wins that earned him a dominant title and with it the opportunity to join Scuderia Toro Rosso for the 2015 F1 World Championship season. However, his results tailed off during the second half of the year as Ferrari lost touch with the all-conquering Red Bull, Sainz picking up just three more podiums as he was beaten to fourth in the standings by Mercedes’ George Russell.While Sainz realised a dream upon joining Ferrari for the 2021 F1 World Championship season, his arrival nonetheless came on the back of a dismal slump in form for the Italian outfit.
Together with his rostrums in Hungary, Russia and Abu Dhabi, Sainz exceeded expectations by ending the year in fifth place overall, ahead of highly-rated team-mate Charles Leclerc.With his strong 2019 F1 campaign having raised his stock in the paddock, Sainz began the 2020 F1 season in the knowledge that he would be leaving McLaren at the end of it to join Ferrari.at the conclusion of the year, it led to Sainz agreeing a deal to replace him months before the COVID delayed season had even begun.
Spurring him on to end the year with a strong run of top ten results in each of the final seven races, Sainz concluded his time at McLaren in sixth overall for the second year running.Forming one half of an all-new driver lineup alongside rookie Lando Norris, Sainz’s arrival at McLaren marked the start of a competitive new era for the storied British team.
While the Renault R.S.18 may not have been the step the French team had hoped for, Sainz was a reliable pair of hands behind the wheel, becoming a regular point-scorer, particularly during the first half of the year. However, after achieving a new career-best result of fourth in Singapore, Sainz was approached to join the French team early in place of Jolyon Palmer, the Briton having been dropped with four races of the season remaining.
