Toro Rosso team mates return to memorable Malaysia

This weekend's Malaysia Grand Prix will be a special one for Toro Rosso's Daniil Kvyat and Carlos Sainz.

The pair of 22-year-olds first raced in Malaysia at a Formula One event as team mates in Formula BMW back in 2010.

"What memories! The first time we went there it was our first ever races in our lives in Formula BMW," said Kvyat. "We also had our first nice little battles on track, driving side by side at Turns one and two. So I have a lot of good memories of us racing there, as team mates."

"We were 15 years old, I was nervous," added Sainz. Especially because it was in front of all the F1 people.”

The pair would return to the Sepang International Circuit later in the 2010 season, where both took race wins.
