Remembered is the image of Carlos Sainz grandson with his paternal grandfather in the summer of 2020, when after leaving confinement due to Covid-19, they staged an endearing moment.

“I haven’t seen my grandparents for three months since I went to Australia to race and when I returned it was the confinement. It’s time to go see them for the first time. You have to be very careful. My grandfather is crazy to take a walk with me on a tricycle. Let’s do it. I’m sure we’ll enjoy it,” Carlos Sainz Jr. then commented on his YouTube channel.

And so he did. With their masks on, grandfather and grandson greeted each other with their elbows. Carlos then spoke highly of him: “He turns 94 this summer, he has little mobility but he’s smart in the head. He’s a very funny guy.” Antonio Sainz, from his electric tricycle, replied: “Don’t be a bore”, pulling the picaresque that characterized him.
