"I’m really looking forward to next year, the Spaniard said, it’s going to be a challenge but I know I’m with the best team for British Formula Three. I can’t wait to take part in the series and hope to be challenging for wins like Jaime [Alguersuari], Daniel [Ricciardo] and Jean-Eric [Vergne] did. I know that my first season will be difficult especially because there will be new cars next season, but I trust the team to develop the car as they have done in previous seasons and I’m sure if I work hard we will have a good year."

Carlos Sainz Jr is a Red Bull Junior driver since 2010.
