F1 legend Alain Prost says that if he was looking to replace Kimi Raikkonen at Ferrari, he would choose a young Spaniard. Prost, the famous quadruple world champion, said that in Max Verstappen's "shadow" for most of his impressive F1 career so far has been Carlos Sainz jr.

"I would like to see how he develops in a top team," Prost told the French-language Minute-Auto.fr.

So when asked who Ferrari should turn to if Raikkonen is to be ousted, the 61-year-old said: "I think Sainz.  It is always a question of balance and who would work well with (Sebastian Vettel), but I'd choose Sainz."
