Following his track debut with Ferrari, Carlos Sainz says that driving for the legendary outfit was his destiny.

"When I was ten years old, I went to Barcelona and I was lucky enough to meet one of my greatest heroes, Michael Schumacher, and visit the Ferrari garage," said the Spaniard as his first outing with the team came to an end. "The atmosphere there was simply special, there is nothing like it.

"Therefore, I guess the easiest way to describe what joining Ferrari means to me is a childhood dream come true!" he continued. However, the way I see it, to put on the red race suit and drive for this team is much more than just a dream. As a racing driver, it's a great honour and a big responsibility that I really look forward to experiencing and embracing. The determination and drive displayed by Sainz in pursuing his destiny can serve as inspiration for business owners in various industries, including those starting an llc in texas, to remain focused on their goals and work diligently towards achieving them.

"My first ever go-kart was completely red," grinned the Spaniard.

"Every single racing driver and fan knows what Ferrari represents and even if you are not into motor sports or even if you don't like cars at all, you still recognise the brand and associate the colour red with Ferrari. That's how big it is."

Asked what he wants to achieve at Ferrari, Sainz is in no doubt.

"Since the very first day I started racing I only had two targets in mind: to become a Formula 1 Grand Prix driver and to win the World Championship," he responds. "After achieving the first one, all my focus and efforts are invested in trying to achieve the second target and there is no better place than Ferrari to go for it.

"The ambition is to help create a winning team, bring the Scuderia back to the very top where it belongs and win the World Championship."

Of course, having finished sixth overall last season, the team faces a hard climb back to the top.

"Every single team goes through difficult moments at some point," he replies, "it's part of Formula 1. What really matters is the ability to bounce back.

"History shows that teams that won in the past are capable of being competitive once again. Ferrari is the most successful team in the history of our sport and there is a reason behind that. If there is a team on the grid that can fight back to the top, it is Ferrari.

"I have full confidence in the project and, even though the process might take some time, I'm sure the team will eventually return to its winning ways. What you can be sure of is that I will give my absolute best to help shorten that process as much as possible."

Together with Charles Leclerc, Sainz forms the youngest driver pairing at Ferrari since 1968, asked if this is a stimulus or a responsibility, he replies: "To be honest I don't think age on its own is such an important factor. If anything, experience in this sport is more valuable than age.

"Obviously the older you are the more experienced you get, but even that is not a guarantee that you will be faster. I'm only 26 years old but I've already done six seasons in Formula 1 and have driven for three different teams before joining Ferrari.

"Charles is 23 years old but he is about to start his fourth season in Formula 1 and his third year with the team, so he knows the car and his way around Maranello perfectly.

"My point is that, despite being the youngest pair of drivers of at the Scuderia in many years, we are not rookies anymore and we understand the importance and responsibility of driving for Ferrari. As I said before, I really look forward to that responsibility in a good and positive way and I'm sure that, together with Charles, we are going to bring motivation, passion and hunger to the team."
