“It Will Make Life Very Difficult for Spain”: Carlos Sainz Juggles Split Allegiances With Two Real Madrid Superstars Amid World Cup Fever

As the 2022 F1 season came to an end, the FIFA World Cup 2022 started in Qatar. The world flocked to the Middle East to witness one of the greatest sporting shows on Earth. Carlos Sainz, the Ferrari driver, is one of the fans who isn’t missing out on the action as he revealed his Real Madrid connection and the fear for his national team.

Talking about this, Sainz revealed, “Two great players that have done a lot for Real Madrid in the last couple of years. I text Vini now and then. We’re on Instagram, and he’s become a fan of Formula 1 and I’m a big fan of Real Madrid.”

The Spanish driver had to juggle split allegiances with Real Madrid stars Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr as he said, “I think they’re going to be strong in the national team for Brazil, though maybe I don’t want them to be so strong because it will make life very difficult for Spain.”
