A Familiar Feeling

A Message of Determination
As Sainz heads back to Spain, he has made it clear that he is not ready to give up on his Dakar ambitions. His message is simple: “Until 2026, Dakar.” This determination is a testament to his unwavering commitment to his goal.
Gratitude and Optimism
In a social media post, Sainz expressed his gratitude to his team for their hard work and wished his fellow competitors good luck. He also emphasized his team’s commitment to continuing their work with attitude and desire, already looking forward to the next step.
A Personal and Professional Goal
For Sainz, winning the Dakar with Ford is not just a professional goal, but also a personal one. He wants to close the circle of his career with the brand that gave him the opportunity to succeed in Spain and in the world of rallying.
