F1 team labels their own fans ‘CRAZY’ ahead of Spanish Grand Prix
One of Formula 1’s most iconic teams has playfully dubbed their dedicated fans ‘crazy’ ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix this weekend. The race at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is poised to be the ninth round of the thrilling 2025 championship and marks the second leg of this season’s triple-header. Spanish supporters, known for their immense passion, are eagerly anticipated to fill the stands, hopeful to witness local heroes Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz challenge the top contenders.
While Alonso enjoys legendary status as a two-time world champion, much attention in Barcelona surrounds his compatriot Sainz. Ahead of Sainz’s fan zone appearance, fans began queuing early in the day, prompting the team to share a video on their social media with the caption: “You guys are crazy.” Sainz’s move to Williams this year was considered a significant acquisition, although his initial performances did not meet expectations.
However, recent races have seen notable improvement, with Sainz consistently finishing in the top 10. His teammate Alex Albon has also made a positive impact, frequently scoring points and surpassing his previous seasons’ total. The upcoming Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona will mark the event’s final edition before Madrid’s Barajas street circuit takes over as Spain’s official race from 2026 onwards, concluding an era in the sport.
