Carlos Sainz could not betray his love for Real Madrid as he snubbed a fan's request to sign a shirt of bitter Spanish rivals Barcelona.
Sainz has an army of fans thanks to his day job, driving one of the famous red Ferrari F1 cars on race weekends. But he was driving in his personal vehicle when mobbed by a group of excited supporters this week.
The racer rolled down the window of his black SUV to say hello to the well-wishers. But in an exchange caught on camera, he became suddenly much less accommodating when approached by one hopeful fan holding the Barcelona top.
