Even after being dismissed from Ferrari, Spanish driver Carlos Sainz received a very special “parting gift” from the Italian team.
Sainz’s farewell was one of the most emotional moments of the 2024 Formula 1 season. The Spanish driver left with dignity, and Ferrari made sure that his departure was special by gifting him a personalized Ferrari Daytona SP3, valued at $4 million.
It’s worth mentioning that Red Bull Racing is facing some internal issues. When asked if Red Bull regretted letting Sainz go, the team’s director, Christian Horner, gave an enigmatic response.
“I think Carlos is a great driver, and we saw that a few times this year. You have to look at all the different criteria and dynamics. At the time we extended Checo’s contract, you have to remember that he was second in the World Championship and finishing on the podium in the first four of five races.”
Although he didn’t confirm it, Horner hinted that the team prioritized stability, choosing to extend Sergio Perez’s contract, whose performance has been seen as “disappointing.”
