Sainz has been voted the best rally driver of all time. He has won the World Cup twice and the Dakar Rally on three occasions, being the most veteran driver to do so at the age of 57. The charismatic Spanish driver has always displayed a great spirit of competitiveness and the will to overcome obstacles combined with effort, discipline and solidarity, which has also been reflected in his constant support for young drivers throughout his long and successful sporting career.
