Fighting talk from Sainz: "We are going to fight for the highest place possible!"

Carlos Sainz and McLaren have been on fire recently. With Pierre Gasly leaving Red Bull, it looks certain that Sainz will pass the now Toro Rosso driver in the Formula 1 world championship. Coming back from the summer break, the Spaniard is aiming to finish as high as possible.

"It's been good to take a break over the summer and to see family and friends after a busy first half of the year. Everyone in the team deserved some time off," Sainz said ahead of the Belgium Grand Prix.

After finding some form, McLaren are comfortably the 'best of the rest team'. With the others in the midfield tripping over each other, it looks as though the Papaya Orange car will remain ahead until Abu Dhabi. But looking at this weekend, Sainz is excited to get back into the race car and drive one of his favourite tracks.
