If Sancho were the narrator, the point of view would become third-person limited. This is because the narration would focus on Sancho's perspective, thoughts, and feelings about the situation, while still conveying events that are happening around him. In contrast, if it were first-person, it would be Sancho recounting his own experiences directly.
Don Quixote
by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
And saying this, [Don Quixote] spurred his horse Rocinante without heeding what his squire Sancho was shouting to him, that he was attacking windmills and not giants. But he was so certain they were giants that he paid no attention to his squire Sancho’s shouts, nor did he see what they were, even though he was very close. Rather, he went on shouting: “Do not flee, cowards and vile creatures, for it’s just one knight attacking you!”
from Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes
