Sainz Jr with Red Bull at Abu Dhabi testing

Still in the running for a steering wheel at Toro Rosso in 2015, the Spanish Carlos Sainz Jr will have the opportunity to convince one last time by taking his place in the Red Bull RB10 during the two days of end-of-season testing in Abu Dhabi, on November 25 and 26. He will team up with the holder Daniel Ricciardo.

The 20-year-old driver won this year's Formula Renault 3.5 with the DAMS team, contested as part of the World Series by Renault. Sainz had already performed a demonstration at the wheel of a 8 RB2012, having led the championship at mid-season. The son of the double world rally champion also took part in the young drivers' tests at Silverstone in 2013 at the wheel of a Red Bull RB9.

Sainz will ride on Tuesday and will be replaced by Ricciardo the next day. let's remember that Sebastian Vettel must leave the quadruple world champion team after the final round of the season this weekend, with the German expected to join Maranello for 2015.
