THE SAINZ

WERE THERE

(IF YOU KNEW

WHERE TO LOOK)

CarlosSainzhas trodden atough career path to becoming

Ferrari’s choiceto replace Sebastian Vettel in 2021. The timing is

perfect, because although Sainz has endured setbacks with

Red Bull andRenault, goingthrough F1’s school of hard knocks

has primed him for one of thetoughest driving gigs on the grid

Carlos Sainzfinally has his date with destiny. It’s not arrived

in quite the way he probably expected when he started the

journey, but in this game you must take your chances when

they come. Racing for Ferrari in Formula 1 is something else;

they all say so. It is never smooth sailing, often it’s chaotic,

shambolic even, and rarely does it end well,even forthe

winners. But it isspecial– a Formula 1 team with culture,

history and passion like no other. Irresistible you might say.

Sainz certainly couldn’t resist, and very soon he will be

turning out resplendent in scarlet red,enjoying the unique

emotions savoured only by those who ride the mythical horses

of Enzo’s stable, living thelife dreams are made of – the life of

a Ferrari driver. But first there is the small matter of 2020,
