Carlos Sainz Jr. hopes that people can “turn the pa⛎ge” following his comments about his Formula 1 future potentially lying outside of Red Bull’s programme, having faced a backlash from Chr💯istian Horner and Helmut Marko.

Sainz said over the Austrian Grand Prix weekend that a fourth year with Toro Rosso in 2018 was “unlikely”, suggesting he would look for 𓆉an F1 seatᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ outside of Red Bull’s setup if no position with its senior team was available.

Red Bull Racing team principal Horner and advisor Marko hit back, reminding Sainz he is under contract for next year with Toro Rosso an𒐪d that his entire career had been funded by the energy dr🌠inks giant, urging him to show more loyalty.

, Sainz admitted he felt uncomfortable having Hornerꦓ and Marko on his back, but feels the issue has now resolved.

“I have my opinion anℱd I said it in that very moment. Ma🐎ybe I could have used a different wording to put it,” Sainz said.

“It is not something that I enjoyed, seeing Helmut Marko and Christian Horner going against me, but it someti🎶mes happens in a Formula One career.

“But it should be over, so turn the page.”

Sainz stressed that his primary goal is to race for Red Bull’s senior team in the future, ไdespite its seats currently being occupied by Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen.

“It is my one and only target to be a Redཧ Bull driver in the future,🌠” Sainz said.

“That is what I want, and that is what I have said a hundre❀d times 🎃before.

“And if one answer said in the heat of the moment is spinning out of control, that is just 'modern times’ꦺ.”
