Carlos

Carlos Sainz Jr. was not built for illness.

This wasn’t arrogance...this was lived experience.

Carlos got sick the way some people fell in love: fast, dramatic, and with absolutely no dignity.

It started as a tickle in his throat after a brutal triple-header. He ignored it, obviously. Carlos Sainz did not get sick. He powered through jet lag, media days, and Max Verstappen’s tendency to steal his hoodies. A sore throat was nothing.

By the next morning, he was dying.
