Juan Pablo Montoya has claimed that Max Verstappen may have stopped Red Bull from signing Carlos Sainz for the upcoming season. The former F1 driver cited the duo's past bumpy tenure as teammates as a potential factor behind the Dutchman's reservations.
Lewis Hamilton's unprecedented move to Ferrari led to several shakeups to the F1 grid last year. Carlos Sainz, a four-time race winner, was a free agent. He explored his options patiently, leading to a significant delay in decision-making.
Among many notable teams, Red Bull Racing emerged as front runners for a potential reunion. Sainz had previously been part of Toro Rosso in 2015. However, former F1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya has given his reasons why RB didn't sign the Spaniard.
