55Biography of F1 driver Sainz Carlos Jr
Carlos Sainz Vázquez de Castro, better known as Carlos Sainz Jr. (Madrid, 1 September 1994), is a Spanish racing driver, son of the well-known Carlos Sainz, twice winner of the world rally championship and four times of the Dakar Rally. He made his official debut on karts in 2005; among his successes is that of the prestigious race Monaco Kart Cup 2009.
In 2010 he joined the Red Bull Junior Team and, at the same time, participated in the European Formula BMW Championship with a car of the EuroInternational team, winning the title of Rookie Cup and winning the prestigious Grand Prix of Macao. In 2011 he won the Northern European Cup of Formula Renault 2.0 and finished second in the Eurocup.
The following year he raced with the Carlin Motorsport team in the British Formula 3 championship, winning 4 victories and 6th place in the general classification, in the European Formula of the same category, finishing 5th in the ranking, and in the Formula 3 Euro Series, getting the 9th position.
In 2014 he won the Formula Renault 3.5 Series with a DAMS team car. In 2013 he took part in the tests at Silverstone driving both Toro Rosso and Red Bull, while in November 2014 he participated in the tests at Abu Dhabi driving a Red Bull RB10. The year in which he was announced by Scuderia Toro Rosso for the 2015 Formula 1 World Championship, starting at the Australian Grand Prix alongside Max Verstappen; he will be there for 3 seasons, then moving to Renault in 2018.
The French team will only have one season left, which will be very positive for the Spaniard who, with his constant results, allows Renault to close 4th in the manufacturers' ranking. In 2019 he becomes a McLaren driver, with whom he will remain tied for two seasons: instead he manages to exploit the newfound competitiveness of the Woking car, which together with teammate Lando Norris will lead to fourth place in the manufacturers' standings in 2019, in third in 2020, the year he will be officially announced as a Ferrari driver for the 2021 season.
The team from Maranello will remain tied for four years, winning a total of 4 victories, 25 podiums and 6 pole positions; in the summer break of the 2024 season he was officially appointed as a Williams driver for the 2025 season. Curious is the choice behind his race number, 55: at his debut he wanted to line up on track with number 5, number already used by Sebastian Vettel, so he decided to double it.
