However, in reality, he is a talented Formula one driver and has no connections to the movie industry, that we know of. So what ultimately accounts for his appealing appearance? While many of us could blame his Spanish genes, it is his exercise regimen that has made F1 fans go into a spiral.

Drivers, however, undergo extensive training in order to prepare for such a physical challenge so that they can bring laurels to their teams. People are often surprised to see the extreme fitness regime of the drivers and the latest driver who has got the attention of the F1 community is Sainz. In a recent video shared by Scuderia’s official Instagram account, the 28-year-old is shown performing lateral raises. But instead of lifting heavy weights, he used specialized F1 equipment.

Carlos Sainz is one of those athletes who, in their pursuit of excellence at the pinnacle of motorsport, go all in when it comes to fitness. His training regimen is particularly demanding because it involves a strenuous strength training program. He once revealed how his work ethic keeps him slender.

Revealing to Formula 1.com, he said, “A lot of it [strength training] can be done with limited equipment, even bodyweight, but resistance bands are really versatile. “On tougher training days, I need to eat more and can eat simpler forms of carbohydrate to make sure I am fuelled for those sessions. But on rest days or easier days, I will eat much less as I do not need as much energy. This makes sure I keep lean during this period!”
