Carlos Sainz landed his dream contract with Ferrari earlier last season. After an impressive two seasons with McLaren, the Spaniard made his Ferrari debut with a test drive at Fiorano last week. In a recent interview, Sainz explained how this is his childhood dream come true.

The Madrid driver’s move to Ferrari meant a lot to him. “When I was 10, I went to the race in Barcelona and visited the Ferrari garage by meeting one of my greatest heroes, Michael Schumacher,” he recalled.

“The atmosphere there was really special, there was nothing like that. So joining Scuderia Ferrari means a childhood dream come true for me! But for me, wearing the red jumpsuit and riding for this suit is more than a dream,” he added.

Sainz explained that this opportunity to drive for Ferrari is a dream come true for him. It’s a matter of great honor and responsibility and something he has long waited for, he stated.
