Carlos Sainz has a spicy evening awaiting him. That is because the Spaniard will join the team for a dinner, which will involve watching the European Championship football match between Spain and Italy on screens.

On Thursday night, Spain and Italy will play each other at the European Championships in the second group match of Pool B. Both countries won their first match of the tournament, making a good impression.

An interesting evening awaits Sainz. For the Spaniard will watch the match with his team on a big screen during a joint dinner. In an Italian team, that still makes for a spicy situation. ''Spanish guy on an Italian team; we have a team dinner tonight with a big screen. There's a few Spanish in that team and it's going to be fun to watch with all of them. Obviously, I'll support Spain and I think we will win 2-1 with a late goal."

Fernando Alonso, who sat next to Sainz at the press conference for the Spanish GP, was also asked about the upcoming match. "Spain will win, 21-3!" the two-time world champion stated.
