Carlos Sainz believes he has progressed in all areas

Carlos Sainz, who will begin his third season as a starter in 2017 Toro Rosso, took advantage of his time on the show El Hormiguero on Antena 3 to recall the importance taken in his career by Fernando Alonso.

“I had an excellent year and a good step forward in my sporting career, comments Carlos Sainz. Everything has improved, with a second year in F1. But perhaps even more the experience accumulated in racing: when to stop, when to attack…”

In constant progress since his arrival in the Faenza structure, the Formula champion Renault 3.5 2014 also highlighted his very good relationship with Fernando Alonso, with whom he had clashes on the track, notably in Mexico. " We are getting along very well. Especially since he has sponsored me a little since I was fifteen. He helped me, advised me. Without Fernando, maybe I wouldn't be here. »

Carlos Sainz intends to take advantage of the new regulations and the return of the Renault V6 turbo/hybrid Power Unit to put himself forward again, he who keeps still hoping to one day move to Red Bull Racing.
