ABU DHABI -- Carlos Sainz will sample McLaren machinery for the first time at the Yas Marina circuit next weekend.
Sainz is moving from Renault to McLaren for 2019 and will contest his final race for the former at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The season-ending race is followed by two days of tyre testing at the circuit.
McLaren has confirmed both its 2019 drivers will get a day behind the wheel of its car -- British rookie Lando Norris will drive on Tuesday, before handing the car over to Sainz for Wednesday.
