Breaking News: Carlos Sainz, Formula 1’s Toilet Time Criminal Extraordinaire!
In what’s shaping up to be the most scandalous affair since someone forgot to bring chips to a Super Bowl party, Carlos Sainz—an elite racing driver and unintentional bathroom bandit—has become the target of the FIA’s harshest sanction since…well, probably since last week when they decided actual racing was too dangerous.
Yes, folks, you heard it right! Carlos found himself on the receiving end of a jaw-dropping $36,000 fine (that’s about €20,000 for our metric friends), all because he embarked on a daring mission to—wait for it—relieve himself five seconds late for the national anthem at the Japanese Grand Prix. I mean, who would have thought a boy’s need for a bathroom trip would cause such an international incident?
Picture the scene: Sainz bursts onto the grid screaming, "A toilet crisis is in session!" Moments before he was meant to be a shining beacon of punctuality, he was apparently battling some serious intestinal turmoil that no amount of F1 pit strategies could save him from. Oh, the drama!
In a plot twist worthy of a soap opera, Sainz admitted to guilt in the most nonchalant way possible, apparently channeling his inner rebel while appearing to break the FIA’s fancy new swearing ban. “I’m the biggest supporter of punctuality!” he proclaimed, just moments before dropping the s-bomb louder than an engine revving at the starting line. The FIA is reportedly whipping up a fine of around $73,000 (€40,000) if they decide he’s guilty of saying “sh*t happens,” which is really just a poetic way of saying: "Sorry, drivers, but I had to drop a deuce."
In an official report, the FIA made it abundantly clear that while they sympathized with the whole “stomach issue,” the fines are also, you know, non-negotiable, like a six-pack of energy drinks at a racetrack. They demand drivers be on time because, well, nothing says respect for one’s country like a highly organized racing schedule where bathroom breaks are clearly the villain of the story.
Sainz, slightly perplexed, pondered aloud: "If I have to cough up €10,000 for being late by five seconds, do I at least get a cookie or something?" He’s just as confused about where the fine money goes as we are about why we can’t bring our phones on planes. Apparently, he is REALLY hoping it goes to a good cause—like funding more FIA-approved toilet stalls at grand prix events.
So keep your fingers crossed, because if Sainz gets hit with a third fine for mentioning this bathroom escapade in a press conference, he could be booted off the grid faster than you can say "whoops, my bad!” Will he become the first driver to be suspended under the new rules? Stay tuned, folks!
As the Bahrain Grand Prix approaches, we hope Sainz’s bathroom saga becomes a legendary tale told in the hallowed halls of racing history—one where drivers gather to reminisce about glory days, and the importance of never trusting a burrito before an anthem.
