Carlos Sainz, who recently moved from Ferrari to Williams for the 2025 season, showcased his playful confidence during a lie detector test involving Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari. The test, conducted by the Sky Sports team, revealed a humorous side of the Spanish driver as he struggled to keep a straight face while answering questions about his past team and comparisons with Hamilton.
Playful Deceptions During the Lie Detector Test
The test began with Sainz being asked if he thought he looked better in red than Lewis Hamilton. Although he initially claimed not to suit red and gave that to Hamilton, the lie detector soon caught him, prompting Sainz to grin and admit,
“I’m lying… yeah, I look better.”
When questioned about his hopes to return to Ferrari one day, he hesitated but was caught again, ultimately stating, “Nah… red career’s over.”
The final moment from the test was just as amusing: asked if he secretly hoped Ferrari regretted their decision to let him go, Sainz said “No,” but the lie detector proved otherwise, confirming the interviewer’s comment that he actually does. This candid mix of honesty and playful denial quickly captured fans’ attention on social media and within the F1 community.
Sainz’s Transition to Williams and His Role in the Team
After four seasons at Ferrari, Sainz transferred to Williams, bringing with him a reputation as a passionate racer with strong character who is unafraid of self-deprecating humor. His honesty during the lie detector test mirrors his consistent performance on the track. As Williams continues its rebuild, the team benefits from his experience and confidence, aiming to improve their position throughout the 2025 Formula 1 season.
As the Formula 1 circus prepares for the Barcelona Grand Prix, moments like Sainz’s lie detector interview remind fans that even top drivers have relatable, light-hearted sides. These genuine interactions off the track complement the intense competitive battles witnessed during each race weekend, further endearing drivers like Sainz to supporters worldwide.
