Carlos Sainz: "I think the current format still has a lot of potential"

In recent weeks there has been a proposal to play a race on Saturdays with the grid reversed. Many of the top drivers have been against the idea, mainly Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel. But Carlos Sainz has a differing opinion to them.

Sainz feels that it's important for the gap between the top teams and the rest to be reduced which would see much more interesting battles throughout the grid.

" I don't think that the inverted grid on Saturdays is a terrible idea, but I think the current format still has a lot of potentials," he said.

There is a deadline of October to complete this regulation for the 2021 season, so an announcement is due soon.
