Carlos Sainz Jr.: “A few more years before F1”

On the occasion of the three days of Youth Testing, which began this Wednesday morning at Silverstone, Carlos Sainz Jr. will have the privilege of driving two F1 different, the RB9 of Red Bull and the STR08 of Toro Rosso. Despite this privilege, the son of the double world champion WRC, a member of the Red Bull Young Drivers Academy, expressed a little regret about the absence of Fernando Alonso, his hero. “I would have loved that (run with him, Editor’s note),” he told the EFE press agency. “So instead of being 110% happy, now I'm just 100% happy. »

More seriously, the Spaniard was also cautious about the repercussions that his presence at Silverstone could have for the future. “Being here doesn’t guarantee anything. I want to be clear: my goal this year is to do well in GP3 (where he currently defends the colors of MW Arden, editor's note), and then join the World Series by Renault. I think there are still a few years before F1's time arrives?he warned.
