Comparison: Max Verstappen vs. Carlos Sainz in qualifying Now that Max is no longer at Toro Rosso it is a good time to compare the two. I often hear that Carlos beat Max at qualifying in 2015, and I wanted to see whether that was true.An attempt to further analyse the head-to-head between Sainz and Verstappen. About a week ago I saw this post, and it got me thinking there had to be a way to get a fairer comparison between the two, despite all the reliability issues.Carlos Sainz should take the chance to join Ferrari if one presents itself. That is the opinion of former F1 driver Roberto Merhi, who has said the McLaren ace has shown in the past he has similar levels of ability to title hopeful Max Verstappen.
It was only at the final races that Hulkenberg restored his supremacy, by which point it was long known that Sainz will be a McLaren driver in 2019. In the final reckoning Hulkenberg had a clear edge on Sainz, particularly on one-lap pace, which has always been a strength. But Sainz contributed a respectable chunk of Renault’s points total.
The score in 10 races where a comparison was possible: Verstappen 6, Sainz 4. What we have when we take away the random factors is a driver who narrowly out-qualified Max Verstappen but was.
Max Verstappen (right) and team-mate Carlos Sainz joined in the fun at this year's Mexican Grand Prix. Verstappen has made only one major mistake this year, and that was when he crashed into Lotus.
Carlos Sainz urged to take Sebastian Vettel's Ferrari seat in comparison to Max Verstappen. Carlos Sainz has been backed by fellow Spaniard Roberto Merhi to join Ferrari from McLaren.
Verstappen stuns with maiden win in Spain. Ricciardo had taken the lead from Verstappen during the melee, with Sainz cheekily battling Vettel for fourth as slow-starting Raikkonen recovered in fifth. So right from the start there was one question: Could Red Bull hold off Ferrari? It took Vettel until the eighth lap to displace Sainz, and Raikkonen did likewise a lap later when the Toro.
Max Verstappen was always going to have to be aggressive to make up positions from his last place start at the Monaco Grand Prix. In what was one of his more aggressive moves, watch as he lines up Carlos Sainz out of the tunnel.
Over the course of that season, there was next-to-nothing to choose between the two junior Red Bull drivers, Verstappen marginally ahead in qualifying (by two hundredths!) despite losing out to Sainz 7-5 in the 12 events where a straight comparison was possible. In the 10 races where a comparison could be made, Verstappen was ahead, but only 6-4.
The fight between Toro Rosso's rookies was one of the more interesting subplots in Formula 1 last year. IAN PARKES assesses the high expectations for Verstappen and Sainz in 2016.

Button raced against Max’s father, Jos, who carried the Dutch flag admirably for years.However, his son enjoys a greater reputation already. Verstappen is, obviously, the sport’s youngest ever driver but it has benefited him that his team-mate is 21-year-old Carlos Sainz, another youngster.
