Carlos Sainz Jr says his Abu Dhabi test provided “a lot of information to analyse” with McLaren over the winter ahead of the 2019 F1 season.
Having helped Renault secure fourth place in the constructors’ championship at the 2018 Abu Dhabi season finale, the Spaniard, who will replace fellow countryman Fernando Alonso at McLaren for 2019, made his first appearance for his new team at post-season testing, describing his McLaren test debut as “a dream come true”.
Sainz said he will return home to have a break over the Christmas period after spending some time at McLaren’s Woking headquarters to get familiar to his new surroundings and colleagues.
