MAKE OR BREAK!

Carlos Sainz ended Max Verstappen's win streak yet again. The driver without a seat in 2025 is giving it his all and then some!

MAKE OR BREAK!

Carlos Sainz has done it! In fact, he has done it twice now. In a time when fans of Formula 1 had grown tired of Max Verstappen winning almost every race, Sainz took the charge to stop him and won the Australian GP. Ok, I will admit that this time around, the victory was there for the taking because Verstappen had a mechanical DNF, making it not as spectacular as last year’s win in Singapore. But you still have to hand it to Sainz for performing like a champion just two weeks after undergoing appendix surgery.
