Carlos Sainz: "I also like the idea of racing around the Olympic Park, it's something unusual. I always follow the Olympics! I also raced there last year during my Formula Renault 3.5 season It should be a good weekend for us and hopefully we can continue to fight for points! We need to catch Lotus and overtake them in the Championship".
