Carlos Sainz has seen the Spanish crowd support him immensely throughout his years in F1. However, not all celebratory messages and gestures have been perfectly executed. Recently a picture resurfaced of a blooper from one such demonstration.
The fans tried to form a 55, Carlos’s racing number. However, the group ended up forming what looks more like the Nazi Swastika. The fans posted the picture with the caption “The goal was a homage to but it didn’t go as planned“
El objetivo era un homenaje a @Carlossainz55 pero no salio según lo planeado #55 😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/Y3fnGsgLpo

However, regardless of Carlos’s intentions with the post, not everyone could take the post in good humor like the Spaniard. The fans on Twitter have been going after him since his posting of the picture.
