McLaren driver Carlos Sainz Jr. often expresses his utmost admiration for his father's outstanding achievements in the world of rallying.
There's no doubt the 25-year-old's reverence for his dad - 'El Matador' as he is aptly known - will have gone up another notch following Carlos Sainz Sr's splendid third win in the Dakar on Friday.
After clinching four stage wins in the grueling two-week event, Sainz and co-driver Lucas Cruz had put themselves in control at the top of the car rankings onboard their X-raid Mini.
The 57-year-old took no risks on the final 167km stage, retaining an edge over Toyota's Nasser Al Attiyah who ultimately pipped Mini's Stephane Peterhansel for second.
Fourth on the day after a productive run, two-time F1 world champion Fernando Alonso concluded his maiden Dakar in 13th place overall, some four and a half hours behind Sainz.
