The Australian driver sneaked underneath the view of the camera before executing the attack.

In response, a Twitter user posted an image of a groin guard for Sainz to wear to “handle anything those Renault boys can throw at it”. The crotch guard even has Sainz’s racing number and the words, ‘Big cojones’. This is not the first time such a prank has occurred, sometimes, Romain Grosjean unexpectedly hits the crotches of his fellow Haas F1 team members.
