Indeed but, 3.5 has a lot more track time than GP3. On the other hand, GP3 uses pirelli... We'll see how all this plays out

What do YOU think Sainz has left to prove? And where should you send him off (to prove that)?


BTW: How many of this year's F1 drivers DID win one or more titles in the junior categories in all their years of trying?

I would send him to Indycar.
It is far more competitive and less reliant on having the right car, and there are several teams capable of running a good package.

If he immediately shone in Indycar it would mean he was probably ready for a good ride in F1 and could miss the 'learning' years in a back marker team. If he had a good ride in Indycar but didn't shine then he still has a lot to learn.....
