F1 / WSR – Sainz Jr: “Being patient is essential”

The departure of Sebastian Vettel at the end of the season launches a game of musical chairs whose outcome is still unknown. If Daniil Kvyat will be promoted after only one season with the team Milton Keynes, the future teammate of Max Verstappen in Toro Rosso raises the most questions. Jean-Éric Vergne could finally return to Faenza, even if new contenders within the Red Bull Junior Team are lining up to take his place. With Pierre Gasly and Alex Lynn, Carlos Sainz Jr is at the top of the list to land a starting spot.

The son of the double world champion WRC has proven his qualities this season by being on the verge of winning the Formula title Renault 3.5 Series and already took it upon himself when Max Verstappen, only 16 years old, was confirmed at Toro Rosso. “When everyone saw me at Toro Rosso, I was the first to calm things down”, replied the Spaniard at the top of the Formula Renault 3.5 Series in El Confidencial. “I reminded myself that I was a Red Bull driver like the others and that you never know what will happen with them. I should have been accepted if we had taken into account the logic, the merit, the figures and the results, but we know that things do not always happen that way in F1. It is essential to be patient because things can change very quickly. »
