An interesting evening awaits Sainz. For the Spaniard will watch the match with his team on a big screen during a joint dinner. In an Italian team, that still makes for a spicy situation. ''Spanish guy on an Italian team; we have a team dinner tonight with a big screen. There's a few Spanish in that team and it's going to be fun to watch with all of them. Obviously, I'll support Spain and I think we will win 2-1 with a late goal."
Fernando Alonso, who sat next to Sainz at the press conference for the Spanish GP, was also asked about the upcoming match. "Spain will win, 21-3!" the two-time world champion stated.
