‘Gave It All to Be World Champion With Ferrari’: Carlos Sainz Spills It All in the Sneak Peak of His Upcoming Documentary

There is something about the drivers who race for Scuderia Ferrari that sets them apart from the rest of the grid. This time, the spotlight is on Carlos Sainz Jr, the Spanish racing maestro, as he unveils his passion for Formula 1 in a sneak peek of his upcoming documentary set to be released on December 18 on DAZN. Born into a motorsport dynasty, Carlos Sainz has not only conquered iconic circuits like Silverstone and the Marina Bay Street Circuit but also etched his name in the scarlet legacy of Ferrari. The documentary, “Carlos Sainz: Demonstrable Experience,“ sets the stage for a tale that promises to captivate the hearts of Formula 1 enthusiasts worldwide.

Sainz’s journey began in 2015 when he burst onto the Formula 1 scene with Toro Rosso. The Spaniard’s prowess on the track quickly earned him the status of a rising star, leading to a mid-season transfer to Renault in 2017. However, it was in 2021 that Sainz found himself donning the iconic red overalls of Ferrari. He became only the third Spanish driver to steer the prancing horse, following in the tire tracks of legends Fernando Alonso and Alfonso de Portago.

As Sainz made his way to Maranello, skeptics wondered whether he would play second fiddle to Charles Leclerc, Ferrari’s prodigious young talent. Yet, with mental fortitude and a commitment to success, the Spaniard dispelled any doubts. His first year with Ferrari saw him claim four podiums. But it was in the 2022 British Grand Prix that he finally etched his name into the list of F1 Grand Prix winners. He became only the second Spanish driver to stand atop the podium for Ferrari.

He also delivered a masterclass at the Singapore Grand Prix in 2023, halting Red Bull‘s relentless march towards an undefeated season. In a season dominated by the energy drink team, Carlos Sainz stood as a lone barrier, showcasing his temperament to eke out a win under the most difficult of circumstances. He now stands proud with a total of two race wins, five pole positions, and 18 podiums in F1, making him a valuable asset for Ferrari.

The documentary Carlos Sainz: Demonstrable Experience, set to premiere on December 18, promises an intimate exploration of Sainz’s victories, podiums, and pole positions, providing Formula 1 fans with a front-row seat to the mesmerizing story of the Spaniard.

The Monegasque driver, while acknowledging the team’s success, expressed a candid tinge of disappointment as he witnessed Sainz take the win in Singapore. He felt it should have been him to take the win for Ferrari.

In an interview with Auto Motor und Sport, Leclerc revealed that the winning strategy, a crucial element in Sainz’s triumph, was initially his brainchild. He confessed, “That hurts, especially in a season like this, in which there was only this one chance.” Despite the personal disappointment, Leclerc emphasizes the importance of prioritizing the team’s success, stating, “In moments like this, you have to accept that the team comes first. They would do the same for me if I was ahead.”

As the documentary prepares to unveil the untold chapters of Sainz’s career, Formula 1 fans can revel in the anticipation of witnessing a driver who gave his all, not just for personal glory, but for the pride of wearing the storied red of Ferrari.
