Sainz, who was on the edge of the seat throughout the match, could not hide his excitement at Karim’s match-winning goal.

” BENZEMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA,” Sainz wrote on Twitter.

” Real Madrid, Bernabeu, and Champions. Someone tell me a more father combination than this! How can I not love you….#halamadrid,” wrote Carlos on his Instagram Story.

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.

Why did Ferrari Sign Carlos Sainz?

It would be interesting to see if Carlos can manage to watch his favorite team in the quarter-final stage at the Santiago Bernabeu. But a tight 2022 F1 season might be a roadblock but hopefully, he will continue to showcase his support from afar.
