Carlos Sainz is 'only' 26 years old, but he has been working hard in Formula 1 in recent years to add to an impressive track record. The Spaniard has already competed for Toro Rosso, Renault and McLaren and from 2021 he will be in Ferrari's red for at least two years. Sainz is looking forward to his time in Maranello.
Sainz has already taken on strong teammates such as Max Verstappen, Nico Hulkenberg and Lando Norris. Is that going to help him? "I hope so, but I am also realistic. I realise I am up against one of the fastest drivers in Formula 1. Charles has been at Ferrari for almost two years. I will need time to find the right set-up, to get to know the engineers and to feel at my very best."
Sainz full of confidence
To De Telegraaf, Sainz states that he does not expect everything to go as smoothly as it could. After all, a changeover to Ferrari takes some time. "That makes the challenge even greater. But I am sure that when I am settled, I will be able to perform at a high level."
