Carlos Sainz says he has nothing else to prove as a top Formula 1 driver. The McLaren driver’s future boss, Ferrari principal Mattia Binotto, applauded Sainz from beneath the podium. Earlier, 26-year-old Sainz denied that he is regretting his decision to accept Ferrari’s offer for 2021. Asked what he has to do to finally prove himself in Formula 1, Sainz answered: “Nothing.
