Carlos and Fernando

In his youth, Carlos Sainz Jr had an idol (perhaps even a 'guru' judging by his jacket) in the form of Spain's first F1 world champion Fernando Alonso. After watching Alonso take his first title in 2005 and his second in 2006, Sainz Jr will try and follow in his footsteps ten years later as he prepares for his debut F1 season.
