Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz Jr will be looking to cause an upset by winning the
Saudi Arabian Grand Prix ahead of the much-fancied drivers.
Most recent race
The Spanish star secured a third-place finish in the season-opening race, the 2024 Bahrain Grand Prix with Red Bull Racing-Honda RBPT drivers dominating the race.
Sainz Jr started in the fourth grid and he went on to clinch a podium spot - finishing third just behind race winner Max Verstappen and runner-up Sergio Perez.
Why Sainz Jr could win the 2024 Saudi Grand Grand Prix
The Madrid-born racing driver will be oozing with confidence after his eye-catching performance at the Bahrain Grand Prix.
Sainz Jr was named the Driver of the Day as voted for by the general public and will be keen to impress once again at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
Having finished third in the 2022 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, the 29-year-old knows what it takes to secure a podium spot in Jeddah.
What did he say?
"It’s a solid start to the season and very good points for the team." Sainz Jr said after the 2024 Bahrain GrandPrix.
"I felt really good in the car all race long, being able to control the pace and doing good overtakes. I tried everything to manage the tyres on the last stint to try and attack Checo (Perez) at the end of the race,
"But they are still faster than us. However, I think we have a very good baseline to work on and we need to keep pushing to close the gap."
