And I know, because he previously worked with the four-time world champion.
Toro Rosso team boss is happy and satisfied with how the gamble to have two inexperienced drivers in addition to put together has paid out. Both Sainz as Verstappen have an indelible impression during their debuutseizoen and the future looks more than bright for both of them. “I’m really impressed,” says a proud Tost opposite Motorsport.com. “Not only their driving, but also how the car feel, their collaboration with the engineers and the way they deal with the media. Everyone wants to work with them.”
That is in itself, of course, already a nice compliment from the team boss and thus direct leadership of Max and Carlos (a thirteenth month, seems to us to be no more than reasonable), he’s going to zefs even further. Tost compares the two rookies with no one less than Sebastian Vettel, four-time world champion and in 2007 and 2008 race driver for Toro Rosso. “They share the patience, their attitude and their motivation to be successful in Formula 1.”
