Carlos Sainzwhich will be for the 2021 season from McLaren moved to Ferrari, now wants to get this privilege himself and to be able to meet his new employers this year. “I want to test for Ferrari. This, of course, is no secret, especially now that the FIA ​​has opened its doors to racers who are not newcomers or young racers. I don't see why the FIA ​​shouldn't open them up a bit for all racers,”So the Spaniard. Renault the rationale was that Alonso, who said goodbye to Formula 2018 in 1, has not participated in any royal motorsport race in the past two years. The rules, however, state that a young racer is one who has no more than in his career two participations on Formula 1 races. Otherwise Alonso he does not meet this criterion, but the FIA ​​has closed both eyes in his case.

So I see no reason why I shouldn't get a chance to test myself,”So the Spaniard.

Daniel Ricciardo, who would not have taken the test, joked about Alonso and said that he looks like a young racer to the naked eye…

McLaren would definitely allow him to be able to test for a future employer as early as this year. So permission for his performance is in his hands FIA. "I don’t know what will happen and what the FIA ​​will decide. But I can say that I will try my best to be there. But I'm not going to say how we're going to do that,He added Sainz. If the Spaniard succeeds with his tricks, his rivals could also benefit. However Daniel Ricciardo, who is heading from Renault to McLaren, is not interested in an early test with a new employer. “As for me, I wouldn’t be involved anyway. For me, it doesn’t start until next year. Personally, I don’t feel like I’m going to lose anything.“That he will be significantly older Alonso allowed to take this test, however Australian just smile. “Fernando lives a healthy life and takes care of her fitness. He shows good form and looks quite young. I think we can still see him with the naked eye as a young racer."
