Untitled 8

Construction of Abu Dhabi’s first super-mall is well under way with the Yas Mall set to open very soon. Before the doors are opened to the public however, the crew at Infiniti Red Bull Racing brought along Carlos Sainz Jr. to drive a Red Bull F1 car through the streets of Yas Island in Abu Dhabi as well as in the massive shopping centre itself.

Interestingly, Carlos Sainz Jr was one of the big favourites to be awarded a drive with the Toro Rosso F1 team this season. However, the team instead chose Daniel Kvyat. Additionally, 16-year-old Max Verstappen has been awarded a Toro Rosso race seat next year ahead of Sainz Jr who has more experience and is four years his senior.
