Carlos Sainz and Max Verstappen debuted in F1 nine years ago as teammates in the Toro Rosso team. After 23 races, the Dutchman was promoted to the team in which he would later become three-time world champion.

The Spaniard went through Renault, McLaren and Ferrari until he was unexpectedly left without a job until 2025. Christian Horner does not rule out the Spaniard to replace Checo Pérez at the Red Bull team in October 2019.
