The German driver recently spoke to the AS newspaper about the Spaniard. According to Vettel, the 26-year-old driver deserves to be in the Ferrari. The two of them came out on top of the Red Bull Academy rankings and knew each other pretty well. So it was not surprising that the Aston Martin driver had glowing reports about Sainz Jr.
He said: “Carlos deserves the steering wheel he has. I’ve known him for a long time since he was very young because he went through the Red Bull program. It seems like a long time ago now, but it’s because he was very young when he arrived. He has incredible talent and he has developed very well as a pilot too. I think this is a great opportunity for him and I am very happy for Carlos. “
