Carlos Sainz thinks that spending his entire Formula One career to date in cars down on power has been a benefit to him.
After using the much-criticised Renault power unit last season, Sainz's Toro Rosso team switched to year-old customer Ferrari engines this year.
Despite having zero engine development compared to the rest of the field, the 21-year-old doesn't necessarily feel hard done by, despite the fact the Red Bull senior team have shown they can win races with their current spec engine this season.
"I have done two seasons now with the least top speed of the whole grid and I must say it has made me stronger," he said. "[Compared to] the beginning of last year, I'm not the same driver at the races."
"I have learned how to manage many things in the race and I think my results lately prove it," he continued. "I'm able to extract that tiny bit more that maybe I was not expecting to extract."
"This situation has made me a stronger driver and a more consistent driver in the races."
