The pilot has won 25,000 euros for the Dakar rally. His son, four million per season. But besides the flyer, he has other businesses
Carlos Sainz Jr. and Antón Carreño, from Stool: same girlfriend, different summer
The ancients said that the best disciple is the one who surpasses the teacher, and in that aspect Carlos Sainz (57) can be fully satisfied as both a father and a mentor, since his apprentice, his young Padawan , is already a successful pilot . It is true that Carlos Sainz Jr., (25) his son, has not yet surpassed him in titles or statistics - of course, they do not compete in the same discipline, but it does not matter, even if it is so - but at least there is an aspect in which Sainz Jr. has already taken the lead, and also very widely, to his father. And it is in the chapter of annual income.
For example, while for his recent victory in the Dakar rally - which he has won for the third time this past January - Sainz Sr. has pocketed around 25,000 euros in prizes, not counting sponsorships, his son can claim to be one of the best pilots paid the Formula 1 world Championship , which will soon again take walk in Australia. Currently, he is the main piece of the venerable McLaren team , and that means that, by driving the wheel of one of the silver arrows, he will take more than 4 million euros per season just for competing. His father, then, may be satisfied: of such a stick, such splinter, and also, sharper. Surely, rather than jealousy, what will produce him is an enormous pride and love of father.

Carlos Sainz is one of the three greatest rally drivers in history, and at 57 he is still in the front row, demonstrating that driving is not only a mental issue, but that the longevity of the champion can be prolonged if a good job is done physical. While at his age there are other people who seem to be in the asylum, Carlos Sainz remains fresh and athletic, something completely obligatory if you want to cross the desert and overcome the adversities of a test as hard as the Dakar - stinging, snakes , not an oasis in sight and get lost in an area where there is not even GPS coverage-, and that is how it gradually expands its legend.
Competing in rallies is not the same as doing it in Formula 1 - you see, to the minimum that it has been able, Fernando Alonso has parked his adventures in disciplines such as endurance races or cross country routes to consider returning to the queen category of motor-, but it is also in those colorful and demanding disciplines where legends are forged. What accompanies Sainz is a resume of victories that overshadow that of anyone who drives a steering wheel, and that they leave their best known episode in mere anecdote - the desperate cry of their former co-pilot, Luis Moya, when he begged him to try to start the car when he was dead a few meters from the goal, about to win a World Cup he lost at the last minute.
In the end, Sainz has served his revenge on a cold plate. He did not win that competition, but he continues to win others, and not precisely minors. Do not release the accelerator pedal even if your leg is cut.
In addition, he enjoys an unbeatable personal life as a head, along with his partner, Reyes Vázquez -with whom he has been married since 1992-, of a family that is completed with the two girls in his eyes, his eldest daughter, Blanca, and the minor, Ana -Carlos Jr. was the second to be born. Both students of business , today they work with their father in their business parallel to the competition in rallies.

Along with his brother, Carlos Sainz owns a chain of gyms, Reebok Sports Club, a proposal for elitists fitness that has been making its way to step firmly on the Spanish market, and will be, among others , as activities its advice to the Ministry of defense in aspects related to motorized displacement by land and survival in the desert environment-, which dictate its future when the steering wheel hangs definitively. Something that, it seems, will still take time to arrive.
