JUST IN: FIA release official statement over DISQUALIFICATION of Red Bull star
The FIA have released a statement regarding the disqualification of two stars from a key event on the motorsport calendar, including a Red Bull athlete.
Following his fourth Dakar Rally success in 2024, Red Bull star Carlos Sainz Sr. – father of four-time Formula 1 grand prix winner Carlos Sainz – went into the 2025 event with high hopes.
The motorsport legend is now 62 years old but boasts two World Rally Championship titles and, last year, made history as the oldest Dakar Rally winner, adding the title to a plethora of iconic race wins.
Sainz Sr. also recently made his debut in a Ferrari F1 car, driving around the Fiorano track with his son as a leaving present from the team to the Spaniard who has been replaced by Lewis Hamilton.
