Carlos Sainz thanks McLaren for the beautiful season with a beautiful video
- Thierry Bakker
It was only in 2019 that Carlos Sainz really experienced his breakthrough in Formula 1 at McLaren, where he showed everyone how good he really is. However, after one season, he announced that he will leave the team that put him in the spotlight.
Leaving McLaren isn't easy for Sainz
Sainz will still be driving for McLaren in 2020, but from 2021 onwards, the Spaniard will be a Ferrari driver. Ever since Sebastian Vettel announced his departure, a spot became available at the Italian outfit and Sainz has made clever use of that. However, he doesn't forget what the McLaren family has meant to him last season.
After years at Toro Rosso and Renault Sainz seemed to end up on a dead end. Renault didn't need him anymore and Red Bull didn't see a chance to keep the Spaniard either. McLaren offered a solution and with this video Sainz wants to show how much he still appreciates that offer.
