Indeed, while Max Verstappen has been confirmed with the Faenza-based team, the name of his teammate is unknown at the moment, following Daniil Kvyat’s promotion to Red Bull after Sebastian Vettel’s departure.<\/p>\n
The Spanish driver, who recently won the Formula Renault 3.5 championship title by becoming the youngest to do so with 7 victories – a new record, believes he has done what it takes to secure a seat in F1 next season. “I think I deserve a seat at Toro Rosso, and anything other than a seat at this level [F1] would bore me a bit,” Sainz Jr told Gestiona Radio.<\/p>\n

I was in a higher championship, I was the youngest in history to win it, with the record for wins and fastest laps. If Verstappen deserves this seat, then I deserve it even more. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
