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“
