A great answer from Carlos Sainz on why its so special and emotional to race in Madrid, his home 🇪🇸 "When I was 10 years old, I remember telling my dad, 'I want to be like Fernando Alonso one day.'" "For me, having a grand prix in Madrid, I was telling Gabi before and Valtteri that this is the house where I grew up. So I would wake up here, go to my karting track, go and train and come back. It’s the house where, when I was 10 years old, I would wake up at 4am, knock on my dad’s door to say, 'It’s Australian Grand Prix time, we need to watch.'" "So that kid that was 10 years old, already loving Formula 1, would have for sure never thought that he would be a Formula 1 driver one day and that a Grand Prix would come to Madrid and he would be driving in it. So that’s why it’s so special and so emotional."
