Carlos Sainz says that he will benefit from having a much more experienced teammate in Nico Hulkenberg. For the final four rounds of the 2017 season, Sainz joined Renault in preparation for a full campaign in 2018. The Spaniard replaced Jolyon Palmer, who failed to impress the French squad.
Sainz made his F1 debut back in 2015, while Hulkenberg entered his first race in 2010. Many tip Renault to have one of the strongest line-ups for next season, and Sainz stated that being partnered with Hulkenberg will allow him to learn a lot.
“[It’s] interesting, especially already I’ve felt differences,” the 23-year-old said.
