Carlos Sainz has had a grandstand named after himself at the Spanish GP at Catalunya called GradaCS55 ever since 2016. He is a home hero in Spain and usually has a grandstand full of supporters there.
Recently, the tickets for the grandstand went live for the upcoming Spanish GP at the end of June. The tickets were all sold out and Carlos Sainz took to his X account to thank his fans for all the support amidst the Spaniard’s turbulent contract situation.
The grandstand has a limit of 3800 spectators and was one of the quickest stands to be sold out. Fans of the 29-year-old who have decided to purchase tickets at the stand will get various rewards and an official Carlos Sainz cap.

Sainz seems to be very grateful to all his fans for selling out his grandstand so quickly. He wants to return the favor to his fans by delivering a brilliant race during the Catalunya event and finding a competitive seat next season.
Ever since Lewis Hamilton‘s move to Ferrari for 2025 has been announced, Carlos Sainz has been on a hot streak. The Spaniard has showcased his brilliance by winning the Australian Grand Prix just two weeks after he missed out on the Saudi Arabian GP due to Appendicitis. Moreover, he is the only driver to have a 100% podium rate this season.
Sainz’s brilliant form has led to him finishing ahead of teammate Charles Leclerc in all the races he’s participated in this year. Following this, Spanish Journalist, Antonio Lobato, has revealed to how Sainz is sending ‘facts’ to his teammate through his brilliant performances.
Since he was a kid, his father always told him that even if he didn’t win, he always had to send little ‘messages’. He is not sending those messages any longer. Now he is sending facts. And that’s the reward for all his work. He deserves it. Lots of teams will want to have him.
Antonio Lobato speaking to Soymotor
The number 55’s improved performance is something that his Monegaque teammate will want to monitor. Overall, Sainz is more comfortable in the SF24, allowing him to extract more performance in qualifying as well as the race.
