If someone sat down to choose who they would like to make their role model – one of the best riders in MotoGP history is a great choice. Carlos Sainz made that choice, choosing his friend and compatriot to look up to.

Marc Marquez is one of the best riders in the MotoGP. The 29-year-old in his career has achieved some of the most enviable records in racing history. It is a CV one could only imagine having in their dreams.

Marquez has won 6 world titles for MotoGP World Championship. That arguably makes him the 3rd most successful rider. He is only eclipsed by other greats like Valentino Rossi (at 7) and Giacomo Agostini (at 8). He is undoubtedly one of the greatest MotoGP rider of his era.

Now again, Sainz has made his adulation of Marc public as he conquered yet another outstanding achievement. Marquez recently secured a P2 at the Australian MotoGP. The P2 meant he had completed 100 podiums in the competition, adding him to an elite list of riders.

Sainz congratulated his countryman with a post on his Instagram that said “100 podiums, menudo crack!! Enhorabuena @marcmarquez93!!” (100 podiums, a real cracker!! Congratulations @marcmarquez93!!” (Translated via DeepL)

What Marquez has achieved is deemed greatness in the MotoGP circles. Sainz too would be hoping to make the most of the years he has in F1 now, given he is racing for a car that could become a title challenger soon.

Mercedes had been the dominating team all these years, and 2021 changed it. Now it looks like Red Bull will be leading the pack in the coming years. But Ferrari looks like it has the goods to not let Red Bull have it easy.

Charles Leclerc was performing well this season if one sets aside the strategy and other management-related errors. This goes to show that the car has potential. Other factors need working on for the Italian team.

Sainz has made it clear that the challenge for the title will come next year, and not just from his Monegasque teammate. He said “My goal is to be World Champion one day.  hope if there is a good car again next year, I can be in the fight from the start. Not to drop off in that first half because I know once I’m in the fight, I’m capable of staying in the fight. That will be the goal.”
