“Cheering the Entire Time”: Carlos Sainz Caught in Double Trouble as Smooth Operator Leaves F1 World Pleasantly Surprised

The US Grand Prix brought enough excitement with it. Amid twists and turns, Max Verstappen won the race, snatching away the Constructor’s Championship for Red Bull as well. This time, the Dutchman narrowly beat Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc, who took up podium places. Meanwhile, on the other end of the spectrum, Leclerc’s teammate suffered a crash at turn one. Carlos Sainz was out of the race before he even got a chance to race.

While the race may not have been pleasant for Carlos Sainz, he did not let it mar his charm. So, when Conor Moore was spotted doing a Sainz impression, the Spanish driver was filled with delight.

Carlos Sainz meets Carlos Sainz at the 2022 US Grand Prix

Conor Moore is a famous impressionist with over 482K subscribers to his YouTube channel. Moore is known for doing impressions of sportspersons. He has had run-ins with Daniel Ricciardo and George Russell, and now it was Carlos Sainz’s turn.

Moore was being interviewed by Sky Sports as he impersonated Carlos Sainz in a comedic manner. It was then none other than the Smooth Operator himself dropped by in a ‘Carlos meeting Carlos‘ moment. The video uploaded by Conor Moore sent fans into a tizzy over the wholesome interaction.

“When Carlos enters and still you don’t realize the difference between the voices states how good this guy is at mimicking.”

“Even Carlos Sainz Sr. would be tricked by that impersonation!”

“Conor sounds like Sainz more than Sainz himself does”

“Imagine being Carlos and walking around like, “Who’s playing my interview clip?!””

The video also went viral on Twitter, sparking reactions that only increased Sainz’s reputation for charm.

The video not only warmed the hearts of Carlos Sainz fans but also Conor Moore fans. The two communities have been gushing over the hilariously adorable interaction.

Sainz despondent over US Grand Prix results

Carlos Sainz’s delightful interaction with Moore is even more admirable since it’s right after a race where he DNF’ed. To have the capability to smile after a disappointment is a truly remarkable quality.

However, that does not mean the race results did not affect Carlos at all. Speaking to DAZN ESPAÑA after his incident, Sainz expressed some of his frustrations. He said,“I was battling with Max, and I think Russell came in like a crazy person, and he hit me. With the Russell incident, there was little I could do.”

George Russell missed his braking point and hit Sainz into turn one, causing the Ferrari to come to a spinning standstill.

“I think it sums up my season quite well, things just don’t go right – especially on Sunday. We need to turn the page and keep on trying.”
