Carlos Sainz has retired from the 2025 Dakar Rally after an accident on Stage 2, where his car overturned when crossing a cut dune at just 20 km/h. Although he managed to complete more than 600 kilometres with a badly damaged vehicle, the FIA decided not to allow him to continue due to damage to the safety arch, which generated controversy with Ford due to discrepancies in the interpretation of the regulations. Sainz took responsibility for the error and said that this is one of the most disappointing moments of his career. Despite this, he highlighted the competitiveness of the car and is confident that his teammate Mattias Ekström can fight for victory. In addition, the driver criticised the initial format of the Dakar and confirmed that he will return to Madrid to evaluate a problem in his back after the accident. #dakarrally #dakar2025 #carlossainz #fordperformance More information at http://www.mundodeportivo.com/ Follow us on Facebook / mundodeportivo.com Follow us on Twitter / mundodeportivo Follow us on Twitch / mundodeportivo This video has been published in the context of the Mundo Deportivo newspaper
