The excitement is soaring as we gear up for the Belgian Grand Prix, and one driver who’s got fans all giddy with support is none other than, Carlos Sainz. The Ferrari driver has not only got some serious driving skills but he’s also got an adorable factor that’s just off the charts. And the fans can’t get enough of it! Social media is flooded with all kinds of sweet messages, and fan art that’ll make you go “aww” & even stumps the popularity of his teammate Charles Leclerc.
But it’s not just about the cuteness, folks. In the Qualifying session for the Belgian GP, Sainz secured the fifth-fastest time, but he got a lucky break! Due to a penalty imposed on one of his rivals, he’ll actually start from the fourth position on Sunday’s race. In the decisive Q3, he battled hard for a spot in the front row until he had to handle a challenging moment at Turn 8, which affected his lap time. Although, it’s Sainz’s off-track shenanigans that have caught the eye of fans.
