Despite His War Against Ferrari, “Perfect Father” Carlos Sainz Sr. Hailed By Ex-Ferrari Boss

Following the Italian Grand Prix where Ferrari secured their best result of the season with a 3-4 finish, tensions rose due to the team’s controversial race strategies. Carlos Sainz Sr. expressed frustration over what he perceives as a bias towards Charles Leclerc in Ferrari’s team directives, which seemingly favor Leclerc over Carlos Sainz Jr. Although Sainz Jr. chose not to discuss the matter with team boss Frederic Vasseur, his father took the initiative to seek an explanation on his son’s behalf, pointing out the inconsistency in team orders regarding overtaking and position holding.

But letting bygones be bygones, in his recent video, former Ferrari boss, Peter Windsor showered high praise on Carlos Sainz Sr., admiring his unwavering support for his son’s flourishing Formula 1 career. Windsor reminisced about the times he watched races with the senior Sainz, recalling the latter’s passionate, yet balanced involvement in Carlos Jr’s racing journey from the early days at Toro Rosso.

Peter Windsor noted, “Beautiful to watch, and it was just like, “Wow! Where’s this guy been all this time?” Just beautiful, two poles in a row.” He imagined the current vibrant atmosphere in the Sainz household in Madrid, an abode basking in the glory of witnessing the youngster clinch two poles consecutively.

Windsor then lauded Carlos Sr’s temperament as a father stating, “his dad is such a cool guy, and he’s been such a supporter of Carlos, his son, over the years.” Drawing from his personal experience, Windsor depicted the senior Sainz as a constant presence, fully immersed in his son’s career but maintaining a judicious distance to allow Carlos Jr. the space to grow and evolve. “He was totally into it, but the perfect father, not too involved, just enough to be there when Carlos, the son, needed it,”

The unbreakable bond between Carlos Sainz Sr. and Jr. stands strong. Their heartwarming relationship embodies a story of mentorship and unity that rises above the challenges and controversies that mar the landscape of F1 racing. Leveraging unwavering support from his father, especially in turbulent times after the Italian Grand Prix, Sainz Jr. is geared to chase higher ambitions and showcase a promising performance in the upcoming Singapore Grand Prix.
