Marquez and Sainz got together for the Spain versus Japan match which proved crucial for the two racers’ home team to qualify for the knockout round in this year’s FIFA World Cup. Both the Spaniards have already ended their Championship campaigns in their respective motorsports franchises with results that leave a massive room for improvement. While Carlos Sainz bagged the P6 position in the F1 World Championship standings, 60 points behind his teammate Charles Leclerc, Marquez ended his MotoGP year with 13th position and 1 podium win.

This is not the first time that Marc Marquez has been seen out and about with a Formula 1 racer in recent times. The Repsol Honda rider was present in Japan only a few days ago, celebrating the Honda Thanks Day alongwith Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez, Pierre Gasly, and Yuki Tsunoda–all F1 racers recruited under teams which used Honda-powered engines. But fans loved the football spirit that Carlos Sainz and Marc Marquez showed, sporting their Spain jerseys proudly, and hence they commented to the picture.
