Carlos Sainz looks back on a good F1 season and doesn’t feel far removed from the skills of team-mate Verstappen.

Sainz was recently by a fansite subjected to an interview about the past Formula 1 season at Toro Rosso. The Spaniard looks back and operates in the shadow of Verstappen, who is clearly more media-attention than Sainz.

In the question tells Sainz’t really have to think during a race. The 21-year-old racing driver is not so concerned with the next bend, but especially with the piece of asphalt where he was at that moment that his trick is doing. An answer that is also out of the mouth of Verstappen would be able to roll.

The Spaniard will find his results pretty close with his team-mate. The figures confirm this. Max knew to score more points than Sainz Jr. and also, generally speaking, did the 18-year-old the better. However, the two in terms of qualifications and raceresultaten pretty equal. That Verstappen on the 4th place and managed to finish at the GP of the USA was, however, an exceptional case.

The two may well with each other and Sainz is pleased with the excellent results of Max. So he gives in the interview that he is not (much) worse can perform, which he as well as the sulletje of the two would be seen. A modest statement of the 21-year-old driver. Two (relatively young) F1-drivers who will be respectful about talking to each other. There may be other gamefowls drivers still learn a thing or two.
