Sainz looks like his dad: 'It's because we've spent so many times together'

The name Sainz will be immediately associated in the racing world with Carlos Sainz Sr, the successful driver who performed fantasticly over many years. His son, Carlos Sainz Jr, has been in Formula 1 for a while now and is still waiting for his first victory.
According to The Race, the Spaniard says that his name will always be linked to that of his father, just like the expectations. He does not exclude that he looks like his father or is going to look like him.
"It's inevitable that I'll end up being a very similar kind of driver and character to my dad because we've spent so much time together in my racing career, and I've been with him for so long and he's been my mentor and my advisor throughout my career."
Not preventing Sainz from looking like his father
At least that's what he says himself. He's already noticing it and doesn't expect that to change much in the coming years.
"It's inevitable that I tend to have a philosophy of racing and a philosophy of life that is relatively similar to him. Of course, as I got older, I also have my own character. Which is actually more like my mother's than his!"
Sainz will continue his hunt for third place with Ferrari next weekend. Along with Charles Leclerc, he will need to collect the points to secure that third spot.
