Carlos Sainz believes he is a far stronger driver because of Toro Rosso’s poor engine.

The Spaniard is in his second season in F1 and has been plagued by the woeful Renault engine Toro Rosso have had to deal with.

And Sainz insists it has benefited him and will help him show off his best at a better team.

"I have done two seasons now with the least top speed of the whole grid and I must say it has made me stronger," said Sainz.

"[Compared to] the beginning of last year, I'm not the same driver at the races.

"I have learned how to manage many things in the race and I think my results lately prove it.

"I'm able to extract that tiny bit more that maybe I was not expecting to extract.

"This situation has made me a stronger driver and a more consistent driver in the races."
