Carlos Sainz's future has come under the microscope in Austria after he said at the start of the weekend it is "unlikely" he will have a fourth year at Toro Rosso. That was met with a scathing response from Red Bull senior management, who claimed his statement had been "disingenuous" and suggested he was ungrateful to the company which gave him his F1 shot -- all while insisting he is contractually obliged to stay at Toro Rosso in 2018.
Sainz has since faced the international print media at the Red Bull Energy Station in the Spielberg paddock to address the situation.
