Carlos Sainz He has decided his future. He did not give any options or speculation about whether he would choose to retire, at 62 years old.or if it continues in 2026 with a new attempt to achieve its 5th crown with 5 different brands, something that no one has achieved in the history of the test, and above all, make the Ford project a winner.
The Spanish pilot is strong in his social networks and there is no doubt about it. He wants to continue.
“Until 2026, Dakar”he said, making it clear that he will return to the world’s toughest race next year, now 63 years old.
“Coming home on the third day after a year of preparation is not easy to digest. Thanks to the whole team for a great job and good luck to Mattias Ekström and Emil Bergkvist, Mitch Guthrie Kellon Walch, and Nani Roma and Àlex Haro in what We will continue to work with attitude and enthusiasm, thinking that is the next step.”argument.
His engineer thought the same about MD
When Carlos said goodbye to the Spanish newspaper, it seemed clear that he would make this decision and wanted to move on. Above all, after seeing how his engineer, his right-hand man in Dakar, Joan Navarro, chose to stay in the bivouac to continue learning about the car and continue to improve it for next year, for Dakar 2026. This may be a sign that Carlos wants to continue.
Also because Joan Navarro himself secured Mundo Deportivoin an interview soon to be published by this newspaper, who believes Carlos Sainz won’t retire until he achieves something he’s “especially excited about”the truth of being Dakar winner with 5 different brandsand do it on Ford, the company with which Carlos won his first World Championship rally, “is the best way to close the circle.”
What’s not clear is how many more years he’s willing to delay his retirement if he can’t reach that goal by 2026. As he’s always said, in that sense, he’s going year by year. In this case, he did not take long to decide, the same day he left Saudi Arabia for Madrid. Carlos wants to win the Dakar with Ford in 2026. And when someone gets in his way, he usually won’t stop until he gets it.
