i have very specific type of photos of carlos that im obsessed with and that give me The urge to bite him. and i think im gonna keep on adding them to this post for an indefinite period of time.
It’s always ex toro rosso with the resting your head on your fist while admiring Carlos
Ollie’s favorite really is Carlos. He was so distraught at the idea people or Carlos would think that “Ciao” radio was targeted to Carlos
“They played it at a strange time bc I didn’t say that to Carlos.”
“I said it to Lawson and the Alpine.. just wanted to clear that one up, it wasn’t against Carlos”
my heart 🤚🏼♥️
"Carlos has won a race more recently than anyone else in this team, and he is one of the best drivers in the world, full stop."
James said stfu
Facebook reminded me of this and I thought I should share.
And I would like to add, it isn’t the first time and it wasn’t his first time in his Ferrari days.
To quote my goat Reyes ;
And this is when I recommend everyone to watch Road to 55.
Carlos and Yuki (and Teto) cycling together

carlos sainz getting hated on for being pretty and smart is crazy like why is he getting thrown pretty privilege allegations for helping his team with strategies its such a tough bitter world out here for the gorgeous intelligent queens
Woke up sick and scrolled through TikTok to try and get my mind off of how horrible I’m feeling. Saw a TikTok video about Alex and Carlos with the quotes “Red Bull has a problem and it’s Alex Albon” and “what a day for Ferrari but they won with the wrong car”. After everything they have gone through in their careers and not having been appreciated enough in their former teams (especially Red Bull and Ferrari) I am so happy they are now both in a team that really values them, and I am happy they are in that team together as teammates
I’m really excited for this era of Williams, because I really believe they can achieve big things
But yeah a tad bit sad for Australia cause Carlos was the defending winner and everything and we missed one result and some points but we already got 10 points from Alex and it's an amazing start. Plus that disappointment is drowned out by excitement for China since Shang hai was always an intriguing track.
We have a lot to look forward to because we can see that the pace of Williams which got Alex P4 is fucking brilliant and the crash wasn't even Carlos' fault so we have everything to look forward to.
The way when the podium sitters saw Carlos' crash one of them said (I couldn't see which one 😭) "Ohh Carlos..." SO FONDLY
This team is so perfect together... almost all of them are nerdy 😂😂
Alex avenged Carlos Sainz, he simply put a Williams in front of TWO Ferraris... Carbon is the greatest duo of this season, take note
james the father that stepped up vowles
-> F1 Masterlist <-
"now at least being outside of the car i could help the strategy team do the right call with Alex"
Great call Carlos! Amazing job! I can tell he has a great future as a Team Principal, I wouldn’t be surprised if in the future he takes Vasseur or Vowles’ place.
Alex had a smooth race, well deserved P5 and great points! Williams is about to enjoy a fine season! Let’s see what happens next!

Australian GP | 2025
AA: But to be honest with you, you need help. You don't know what the weather's doing and the communication is some area that we've always been working on, trying to improve, especially in these kind of interchangeable conditions, just the relevant information for me... They knew exactly when the rain was gonna hit and how hard it was gonna hit. I honestly - if you remember on the radio - I was against it! I thought what are we doing, it's bone-dry... coming out of the pitlane, I was like okay we've definitely lost out here. But it was alright, I actually need to go see Charles [Florentin, the Head of Race Strategy at Williams] and give him a kiss.
JV: I'll give you a little nugget. I don't know if you saw in the race but Carlos was up on the pitwall right beside me and his insight was fantastic. He looked at the radar and went when that hits, they won't say on track, simple as that. And you could see the big key decision today is do you stop or not, and you saw the field was split. Carlos' information was key towards this so it is a group effort, really, in that regard and it was fantastic to see.
You gotta lock him down for a 15-year contract so he can stay there as a strategist after.
JV: He said he was more nervous than he was in the car, being up there. It's interesting.
I don’t think people understand just how impressive carlos’ performances have been lately. for the first time in four years, he’s working with a different engine, one he said he’ll take at least half a season just to adjust to. despite that, he put in the fastest lap in pre-season testing, in p2 in fp1 and a p11 on mediums in fp2. mind you, he’s had about a 100 laps of practise in the car. sure, at end of the day these things might not amount to anything in actual races, where it matters, but to produce a decent lap in a position like his would be a feat in itself, let alone laps like that. he’s said multiple times to not expect big things season, that the goal is to get better than where the team was last season, and I think the team is already well on their way there, in no small part thanks to carlos.
First race of not following my favorite driver in Ferrari, and my god what a great feeling.
He might have DNFed but he still helped his new team with strategy calls, to help his teammate get some amazing points for the team (Alex what a drive, super proud!) and he looked quite happy in his interview after his race ended.
and the biggest thing of all is that he's appreciated and loved by his entire team.
I of course could he happier if he didn't DNF and had scored some points as well, but I am very happy.
Let's go Williams!
I'm taking all the wins no matter how small it may seem to others 👏🔥🔥🔥
WILLIAMS???? TESTING WASN’T A JOKE???? THEY DID NOT COME TO PLAY?????
This part of Team Torque's podcast
The Carbono karting days lore is too cute, too wholesome. I must protect them
team torque launches straight into a dissection of the accessibility of podcasts over traditional interview in modern media due to the evolution of pop culture in case u guys were worried that Alex and Carlos were going to be normal
I am absolutely impressed by the way Alex and Carlos were so openly honest about the things they both are bringing to the table.
Carlos admitting that he did not expect for Alex to be this sensitive on some aspects of the car, so much so that during meeting he told engineers to ask Aex directly about some things because he knew he would feel them better and have a better feedback.
Alex admitting that Carlos being here put him in a completely different mentality, whereas last year he would fly over some problems to not overload the team, this time he feels like he can talk about any little problem he finds.
That’s a good fucking team for you, honestly. Regardless of the results, that’s exactly how a team should work, strengthening each other.
‘it will always go well for carlos’ my versainz…
i’m in my carlando feels rn
cause like, these are two guys who were brought up with similar values, because their parents wanted them to learn the value of money and hard work and effort. these are two guys who got into f1 young, but carlos had a rookie teammate, and lando had carlos. lando had carlos, and carlos taught him the importance of team, and putting in the hours, and how to correctly read the telemetry, and how to improve, and how to grow up when the situation called for it, and how to get out of your head. and carlos had lando too, because lando taught carlos how to be immature again, and do stupid things sometimes, and to let go. they’re always distracted by each other, even if they’re doing something that has nothing to do with the other. they’re always accompanying each other on family trips, and their parents treat the other as their own. they’re always defending each other, always taking the other’s name first when talking about friends in the paddock. except, carlos refuses to call lando a friend because carlos wants to see whether they would be friends after f1 or not, cause that’s the real test, isn’t it? and they go on golf dates where i’m so sure carlos teases lando for being so bad at it. they’ve cooked together, and god, the lore behind it, can you imagine? they’ve celebrated each other’s wins, each other’s podiums. they’ve got their own personal boundaries for each other, things that no one else can do. they have their high pitched laugh that only dogs can hear, and they blush when they stare at each other too long, and they call each other cabron but affectionately, and they’re always going in for hugs, never simple handshakes. they’re carlos and lando, and there’s so much of carlos in lando, and so much of lando in carlos that it hurts my fucking heart. and like, lando still sticking to carlos’ side, even though it’s been years that they stopped being teammates. hell, in the start, lando could walk into the ferrari garage and no one would bat an eye. but, they never stopped being teammates, because no other driver is so in tune with someone else to pull off singapore 2023. carlos’ own team didn’t know what he was doing there, but lando norris did. lando, who repeatedly told his team before abu dhabi 2024 to be careful of carlos because he knows carlos and he knows he’s going to push. carlos taking lando’s racing line and getting pole in mexico. lando being there when carlos got his first victory post surgery, and got his last victory in ferrari. lando being there when carlos was on podium in monza. lando’s been with carlos in 3 out of 4 wins. did you know that? like, those were two boys who were imagining being p1 and p2, and they got it. they got it in singapore, and then mexico, and then abu dhabi. they’re not loud because they’re there for themselves, yk? they don’t hide their friendship, but they also don’t publicly go around waving it in people’s faces because it’s so personal to them. we’ve all seen the adoration on lando’s face every time he’s with carlos, but fuck, the adoration on carlos’ face when lando’s just being himself is so pure and so real. and like, carlos always leaving a little bit of space for lando on track, and lando always being so secure in his friendship with carlos.
these two found each other so randomly, but goddamn, am i happy they did.
CARLANDO THEY COULD NEVER MAKE ME HATE YOU
Lando Norris & Carlos Sainz Jr. celebrate their results together 2024 Mexican Grand Prix
This is my first F1 fanfiction, and I'm excited to share it with you all! It's a bit short, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless. Your feedback means a lot to me, so if you like what you read, let me know! If there's interest, I'll definitely add more to the story. Thanks for taking the time to check it out!
Background: Ji-min was adopted from South Korea into the Sainz family when she was just a baby. Growing up in Spain, she was immersed in Spanish culture but always felt a connection to her Korean roots. She has a warm relationship with her adoptive family.
Ji-min discovered her passion for music at a young age and pursued it fervently. She auditioned for a talent agency in Barcelona and was selected to be a part of a five-member girl group called "Eclipse." Despite her busy schedule as a K-pop idol.
Meanwhile, her older Carlos Sainz Jr. was making a name for himself in the world of Formula 1 racing. Their paths rarely crossed due to their different careers and lifestyles, but Ji-min secretly followed Carlos's races, feeling proud of his achievements yet also envious of the attention and recognition he received.
As Ji-min's popularity as a K-pop idol soared, she kept her family background a secret, fearing that it might overshadow her own accomplishments and potentially cause unwanted attention. However, deep down, she yearned to connect with her brother.
Ji-min: Hey Carlos, it's Ji-min. Hope you're doing awesome today! 🌟
Carlos: Ji-min! What's up, little sis? 😄 Everything good on your end?
Ji-min: Yeah, all good here! Hey, I was actually wondering... would it be cool if I came to one of your races? I've been dying to see you in action, big bro! 🏎️💨
Carlos: Of course it's cool, Ji-min! I'd love to have you there cheering me on. But... are you okay with everyone knowing we're family? I mean, it's kind of a big deal to go public with this stuff.
Ji-min: Totally cool with it, Carli! I've been wanting to shout it from the rooftops for ages. 😄 Plus, I'm super proud of you, big bro! Let's show the world what the Sains siblings are made of!
Carlos: Haha, you're the best, Ji-min! Thanks for always having my back. 😊 Alright then, I'll hook you up with a pass for the race. Get ready for the full VIP treatment!
Ji-min: Woo-hoo! VIP treatment, here I come! 🌟 Thanks a million, Carli. You're the best big bro a girl could ask for!
Carlos: Anytime, Ji-min! Can't wait to see you at the race, little sis. Get ready for some serious fun!
Ji-min: Counting down the days big bro! Vamos!
At the Australian Grand Prix 2024
Ji-min made her way through the bustling crowds, the sun beating down on her as she walked. She was dressed in a simple sundress, a soft pastel blue that fluttered gently in the warm breeze. The fabric flowed loosely around her figure, offering comfort and ease as she navigated through the throngs of people.
A pair of oversized sunglasses shielded her eyes from the bright sunlight, partially concealing her face and adding a touch of mystery to her appearance. She pulled her hair back into a loose ponytail, strands of dark hair framing her delicate features.
Despite the casual attire, Ji-min moved with a graceful confidence, her steps light and purposeful as she weaved her way through the crowd. She kept her head down slightly, avoiding direct eye contact to minimize attention as she made her way towards the VIP area.
Occasionally, she caught snippets of excited chatter from nearby fans discussing the upcoming race and the drivers competing in it. Ji-min couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement coursing through her veins as she neared the entrance, her heart pounding with anticipation.
As she reached the designated entrance for VIP guests, Ji-min took a deep breath, her excitement bubbling beneath the surface. With a confident smile, she presented her pass to the security personnel and stepped inside, ready to witness her big brother's momentous victory firsthand.
Her eyes scanning the crowd for any sign of her brother. She was so absorbed in her search that she didn't notice the people around her, her gaze moving to her phone screen as she typed out a message to Carlos.
"Hey Carli, just arrived. Where are you? "
Lost in her phone, Ji-min didn't notice the figure approaching until it was too late. With a sudden jolt, she collided with someone, nearly dropping her phone in the process.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed, looking up to see who she had bumped into.
Standing before her was none other than Lando Norris, one of the drivers competing in the race. Ji-min's eyes widened in surprise, recognizing him instantly from his racing gear and signature smile.
Lando grinned apologetically, his blue eyes sparkling with amusement. "No worries! "
Ji-min nodded, feeling a blush creeping up her cheeks. Sorry for not paying attention."
Lando chuckled, waving off her apology. "Not a problem at all." giving her a friendly nod before continuing on his way.
As Ji-min watched him disappear into the crowd, she couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement coursing through her veins. Little did she know, her encounter with Lando was just the beginning of an unforgettable day at the races.
----
Ji-min's heart raced as she finally spotted her brother amidst the hustle and bustle of the Ferrari garage. Carlos stood surrounded by his team, his familiar smile lighting up his face as he greeted them with enthusiasm.
"Carli!" Ji-min exclaimed, weaving her way through the crowd until she reached him. "There you are! I've been looking all over for you."
Carlos turned towards her, his eyes lighting up with delight as he caught sight of his little sister. "Ji-min! I'm so glad you made it!" he exclaimed, pulling her into a tight embrace.
Wrapped in her brother's arms, Ji-min felt a rush of warmth and contentment wash over her. It had been too long since they last saw each other, and she cherished every moment they spent together.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world," Ji-min replied, pulling back to look at Carlos with a beaming smile.
They spent the next few minutes catching up, exchanging stories and sharing laughs as they soaked in the atmosphere of the race day. Ji-min couldn't help but feel a surge of pride as she watched her brother interact with his team, his passion for racing shining through in every word and gesture.
