All Carlos Sainz cars in Formula 1 (and before)

A lot has happened since that 2010 in which Carlos Sainz took the controls of a Formula BMW in Montmeló after having been runner-up in European karting in KF3 a year earlier and third in the WSK International Series. Since then, the still young man from Madrid has become one of the names to be reckoned with in Formula 1.

The Spanish driver won several races in both the European Formula BMW and the Pacific series and stood on the podium of the European F3 Open in his second weekend with an F3 in Barcelona.

A year later he already knew what it is to race through the narrow streets of Macao with a Eurointernational Volkswagen F309 and finished 17th. But his first title came in the Formula Renault 2.0 NEC with Koiranen, being runner-up in the Eurocup .

After passing through the FIA F3 and the F3 Euro Series, in 2013 he took the controls of a Toro Rosso and a Red Bull for the first time, leaving the entire Red Bull Junior Team feeling good.

After suffering in the 2013 GP3, in 2014 he was proclaimed champion of the Formula V8 3.5, former Renault World Series, and secured a starting seat at Toro Rosso for Formula 1 2015.

In 2017, Renault signed him as an official driver and made him debut four races before the end of the season. The next stage, after Alonso’s goodbye, came in Woking with McLaren, and after shining with the English, he received the great opportunity to go to Ferrari for 2021. His future remains to be written, but he is already in the elite of the F1.

If we focus on F1, leaving aside the tests with Red Bull Racing and the test debut with McLaren before the end of 2018, these are the cars with which Carlos Sainz has contested Formula 1 World Championship races.
