Carlos Sainz has confirmed that Rupert Manwaring, the Spaniard’s long-time performance coach, will work for Max Verstappen from 2024. His former teammate at Toro Rosso was looking for a new performance coach and found him in the Spaniard. Sainz responds to Manwaring’s departure.
At the end of November, Bradley Scanes, Verstappen’s performance coach and personal trainer for four years, announced his departure. Verstappen has therefore now joined forces with Manwaring for the 2024 season. Manwaring is leaving the Sainz camp after eight years. Given the demanding F1 schedule, races and G-forces, it is crucial for drivers to maintain excellent physical and mental health throughout the year. An important part of their life outside the circuit consists of intensive training with personal trainers, also called performance coaches, to stay in top condition.

Sainz reacts to departure
So Sainz’s performance coach is leaving. The Spaniard has now responded to the departure of his performance coach. “Eight years can’t be summed up in one video, but here’s a little taste of what it’s meant. 2023 was [Rupert Manwaring’s] last season as part of Team 55 and I wouldn’t know how to thank you for all the work, dedication and support over these years. We didn’t train alone, we competed together for the same goals and had a lot of fun along the way! I wish you all the best Ruperto!”
