Carlos Sainz has said he will be happy to stay at Toro Rosso for the 2018 season, despite rumours linking him away from the team.
The Spaniard is a highly rated prospect on the grid and is said to be frustrated at the lack of an opportunity to prove himself in the main Red Bull team. He even said last week that without an opportunity at Red Bull, it would be “unlikely” to stay at the junior team, Toro Rosso for a fourth year.
Red Bull seem to want to keep Sainz, but do not want to move on either of their two main team drivers, leaving sainz in a difficult position in terms of career progression.
