Ferrari F1 driver Carlos Sainz is a big-time golf enthusiast. The man from Spain never misses an opportunity to grab the golf club and head for any golf course he gets nearby circuits for some golf. On one occasion, Sainz took advantage after he was done with his race in Mexico.

As soon as the race at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez got over, the Ferrari driver was quick to use this opportunity to spend time playing the game he loves. The man from Madrid didn’t miss the chance to visit Riviera Maya and enjoy a great day of golf at El Camaleón Golf Course.

The former McLaren driver played some golf with American pro golfer Tony Finau and shared some light chats. While in the game, Sainz played a brilliant shot and Finau was quick to point out in the video posted by the PGA tour on their official Instagram account, “Girlfriend shows up dude and he just… Dude, all of a sudden man.” The duo shared some good game and laughter, and the golfer wished all the very best to the driver for his upcoming endeavors.
