How Ferrari has brought the best from F1’s smooth operator
As a young boy, Carlos Sainz was schooled by his father in the special folklore surrounding Ferrari in Formula 1. Now an established grand prix ace – and a Ferrari driver to boot – Sainz opens up to BEN ANDERSON about driving for the team of his childhood hero, and of his own boyhood dreams

The connections between modern Spanish motorsport’s most famous names are well known, but there was another, less well-known trip the Sainzes made that weekend which ultimately proved far more significant.
