Carlos Sainz mocks Max Verstappen with a savage reply: “And the Red Bull is the most reliable”

Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz

The duo of Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz is one of the most loved friendships in F1. The drivers started their career together in 2015 at Toro Rosso, which was the junior team of Red Bull. And after racing side by side for 23 races, the drivers split after Max Verstappen was called up for Red Bull.

Both Max and Sainz shared a good relationship in the junior team, which seems to be going strong till now. The top drivers have been spotted chatting dearly, several times, and most recently in Bahrain, where Sainz’s Ferrari was the fastest car, whereas, Verstappen’s Red Bull suffered from engine reliability issues.

In a presser, before the first practice session of the Saudi Arabian GP, Max and Sainz engaged in banter over their cars’ performance in Bahrain. Max, remarking slyly on Ferrari said, “I think we can all agree Ferrari has the slowest car – it’s all Carlos and Charles!” To which Sainz replied, “And the Red Bull is the most reliable!”

The duo came together for the first time in 2015, where they race alongside for the whole season of 19 races. And together, they brought success to the junior team, as together they doubled the points of the team from 30 in 2014 to 67 in 2015. Both of them showed everyone that they were in for a long game in the sport.

In 2016, the Dutch moved to Red Bull after five races of the season and won the very first race he took part in with the senior team. And since hasn’t looked back and has won a championship title and 20 races in total.

Carlos Sainz, after moving to several teams, is yet to win his first race. But with a competitive car for the first time, he looks all set to win the first race of his career. He looked good in the opening weekend in Bahrain and is almost certain to bag his first win in 2022.
