Williams Formula 1 driver Carlos Sainz has explained how he separates his off-track friendships from his on-track rivalries, revealing that he only sees rival cars rather than the specific driver when he is racing.
Speaking in an interview with People Magazine, the Spaniard detailed the mental approach required to race against drivers he regularly spends time with away from the circuit, such as Lando Norris, Charles Leclerc and his team-mate Alex Albon.
