For the book

Former world rally champion Carlos Sainz says he is considering standing for the presidency of Real Madrid. The Spaniard, who won the world championship in 1990 and 1992, has said before that he was interested in the job, but the shock resignation of Florentino Perez has led to speculation that he may bring forward plans to take charge at the club.
