In securing a fighting P8 during at the 2016 Hungarian Grand Prix, Carlos Sainz, then in a Toro Rosso put his car just behind his role-model, Fernando Alonso.

However, as he begins his 2018 Hungaroring challenge, there's a great possibility for Sainz to grab a fantastic finish at the 70-lap contest.

In registering a solid drive in Q3, the Renault driver clinched a vital fifth position on the grid. This should boost his chances of gaining quite a few points on the all-important Sunday.

So far, being heavily out-qualified by his German teammate, this is Carlos' best chance to answer back strongly and add to his 28 points. Should he even clinch a fifth at Hungary, he'd possibly break into the top ten drivers in the season so far, currently languishing at 12.
