The Ferrari driver has been a lifelong Real Madrid fan and compared his current F1 team to the iconic Spanish Club. “It’s one way of saying it… but McLaren is Barca, which is also a very good team to be on.”
“But they are the two best teams in history and when you go from one to the other, it means that you are doing something right in Formula One,” said Sainz.
