Carlos Sainz has no issues with potentially giving up some time testing in his car for Fernando Alonso to try out the new McLaren MCL34.
Alonso has been present at two of the testing days this week to watch the new McLaren in testing, whilst confirming that he would be testing the McLaren at some point during the year as he took on an ambassadorial role within the team.
But for Alonso to test the car it would mean Sainz or Lando Norris would have to give up time in their car for the Spaniard to test it.
Something that Sainz isn’t bothered about and would be happy to do so.
Sainz said (quoted by Crash.net): "I don’t mind. I think I have enough experience to not do an in-season test and give it to Fernando.
"I’m not so worried about that. I think it’s a good thing to have Fernando on track on the car in a test just to have a good baseline and to compare it to last year.
"I’m not going to be in the hotel biting my nails over not being on track one day."
