His son Carlos did not want to miss the triumphant arrival of the winner of the prestigious test and has visited him by surprise on an express flight that has served to give him all the love after reaching the long-awaited goal that is so difficult to overcome.
“I want to give him a surprise waiting for him at the finish line,” explained the young Ferrari driver, who is already working on the F1 car for this coming season: “I’m looking forward to seeing it,” said the man from Madrid.
As soon as he crossed the finish line, Carlos Sainz got out of his Audi on his son’s shoulders with immense joy on his face when he saw the young man greeting him upon his arrival, leaving an image for history and a most emotional moment with the family. .
“How proud to see you at the top again! Winning a Dakar is not easy, but winning 4 is absolute legend! Those of us around you know how sacrificed it is to repeat the challenge every January and even more so as a veteran,” Carlos Jr stated on his social networks.
“Riding the work of an entire year in less than 15 days is brave and you have proven to be as brave as anyone. We love you dad”, concluded the F1 driver.
