Dustin Johnson recently joined Carlos Sainz to celebrate golf and being rich together. This happened after the Ferrari star arrived in the United States for the upcoming Miami Grand Prix, and Johnson made it to the top ten of the Forbes Richest Athletes list.
According to Forbes, the Liv Golf pro, who missed the top 50 last year, made it into the top ten of the highest-paid athletes in the world list. As the 38-year-old basks in fame and name, he was joined by the golf fanatic Sainz.
As seen in the Ferrari driver’s stories, Johnson took charge of the game while the Spanish driver filmed him. Notably, Sainz isn’t the only high-rated celebrity with whom the $107 million worth of golfer plays.
Johnson was also spotted playing with former Real Madrid star Gareth Bale a few weeks back. As for the Prancing Horse pilot, he never misses a chance to refresh himself on the golf course whenever he’s away from the paddock.
Carlos Sainz hopeful of a comeback in Miami
The Spanish driver is hopeful that he can make a great comeback in the upcoming race in Miami. After finishing the Baku weekend feebly with fear in P5 in both sprint and main race, he feels it’s time to stand strong.
According to a report published by Racingnews365, the Spaniard stated that he finds it positive that the new race is coming down fast. This is because he can now concentrate on the next race instead of thinking about the last.
🇦🇿 P5 brings home some points but I must put my hand up and admit I lacked confidence under braking and the pace wasn’t there. I look forward to a reset, as Miami is just around the corner. I can’t wait to jump in the car again and keep pushing

As Ferrari has shown a bit of spark in Azerbaijan, Sainz believes they can hold on to the momentum and work with it in Miami. Two poles amid a horrid start to the season have been nothing but the push towards an upward trajectory, the 28-year-old feels.
The Spaniard expects the team to overcome the deficit
While talking to the media, Carlos Sainz spoke up on the main deficit SF-23 has against its rivals, mainly RB-19, and that’s the race pace. Even though the SF-23 is quite fast on the straight, its pure pace is what keeps it behind.
As seen in the recently concluded Azerbaijan Grand Prix, where both Red Bulls overtook Charles Leclerc in both sprint and main races due to its weaker pace. Emphasizing this, Sainz called it their fundamental weakness.
Carlos Sainz currently stands in P5 in the drivers’ standings with 34 points, six more than his teammate Charles Leclerc who’s in P6 with 28 points. Scuderia Ferrari is in P4 in the constructors’ championship with 62 points, 118 points behind leaders Red Bull.
