Toro Rosso: Carlos Sainz’s performances might have fallen slightly under the radar as Toro Rosso struggled for competitiveness, but statistically he was one of 2016’s most impressive performers. The Spaniard scored 42 of his total 46 points during his spell partnering Daniil Kvyat – during the same period, the Russian picked up just four points. In the qualifying and race head-to-heads Sainz was similarly dominant, while he ended the year with 602 laps inside the top 10 – more than double the Russian’s tally. There is a caveat, of course, with Kvyat’s form sliding after his switch from Red Bull to Toro Rosso, and only rebounding in the latter stages of the year – but even so, this was a season to underline Sainz’s immense talent and promise. © formula1.com
