Congratulations to Spain SailGP Team for winning the $2M SailGP Season 4 Grand Final this weekend 🎉⛵4️⃣ Los Gallos defeated league heavyweights Australia and New Zealand who finished second and third respectively in the winner-takes-all Grand Final race. Botin said: “Beating the Kiwis and Aussies in the Grand Final here in San Francisco - it’s amazing. We’re over the moon. It’s been a big grind and we’ve been through a lot in this League - last season we were last in the scores, and look - this season we win! I think we have an amazing team; let’s see if we can keep it together and keep the ball rolling.” #SailGPGrandFinal #Season4 #globalracingchampionship #SailGP #PoweredbyNature #Season4champions #VamosLosGallos
