formula 1

Champion of the Renault 3,5 series Carlos Sainz Jr. will compete in one of the Red Bull race cars at the last test this year, following the race in Abu Dhabi between November 25 and 26, and the other will belong to Daniel Ricciard. We will see him on the track on the first of two. This will be Sainz’s second test for the red bull. He won the car last year at the test of young racers in Silverston, where he completed thirty-five laps with the RB9 car. He also drove the Toro Ross in the same test, and recently took a demonstration ride with a Red Bull RB3,5 in the middle of the season as a reward for his lead in the R8 Series Championship.
