Why the signs were always evident that Sainz could cut it at the top
Having read Autosport almost all my life, I am thrilled to have a regular column in a magazine/website I respect. Although I will return to running race teams soon, for now, I plan to share stories from my 40-year journey in the sport. I will begin with Carlos Sainz, who faced challenges but still triumphed in 2024.
Despite the setbacks, Sainz responded with a win in Melbourne and a strong finish at Suzuka. It’s puzzling why some underrate him given his talent and remarkable resilience. He has proved his mettle time and again, even in challenging conditions like the rain-hit Monza race in 2012.
Sainz’s recent successes make it clear that he deserves a race drive in 2025. Despite facing pressure and criticism, he handles challenges with grace and determination. The future holds great opportunities for this talented driver, and I have no doubt he will excel in whatever comes his way.
