Fernando Alonso says Carlos Sainz would be a good fit for McLaren Honda.
Stoffel Vandoorne is replacing F1 veteran Jenson Button next year, racing alongside Alonso, whose contract expires at the end of next year.
"I think it would be a good place for Carlos," the Spaniard is quoted by El Mundo Deportivo newspaper.
"I think McLaren-Honda is a combination that is assured success," Alonso added. "Hopefully Carlos finds the winning car that he deserves, either here or somewhere else."
Sainz has been repeatedly linked with a move to Renault, although he insists that he is happy at Toro Rosso and his future lies in the hands of Red Bull's motorsport advisor Dr. Helmut Marko
"My career is guided by Helmut Marko," he said. "People think my father is my manager but everything passes through Helmut Marko's hands. For all I know, Helmut wants me at his 'B' team in case something happens on his 'A' team."
