Toro Rosso youngster Carlos Sainz claims he is ready to follow Max Verstappen in making the jump to the senior team.Though both impressed in their rookie F1 season last year, it was Verstappen who stole the plaudits and subsequently got bumped up to Red Bull to replace Daniil Kvyat in 2016.The teenager duly won his first ever race in the RB12 but Sainz, who also shone at the Spanish GP in finishing sixth, says he would be prepared should Red Bull wish to promote him as well. Asked if he was ready for a front-running team, the Spaniard told Sky Sports News HQ: I definitely think so.Mark Hughes: Where next for Sainz?I am here for Red Bull whenever they need me to jump in the top team. I am fully ready. I always say the same that [being] ready is not a problem.My performance in the Spanish GP was good, but it was the same as in all the other grands prix. Its just nothing strange happened to me and finally I managed to pick up a strong result.But, honestly, I did nothing different to any other grand prix, I just had a bit more luck. So very happy, very pleased with that and hopefully this is a bit of a start from zero for me this season and we can keep scoring some results from now on. Sainz has scored 12 points this season while Toro Rosso are lying fifth in the constructors standings, though they may struggle with a lack of upgrades to their 2015-spec Ferrari engine later on in the campaign.The STR11 looked to be strong in practice at the Monaco GP, however, with Kvyat and Sainz respectively finishing sixth and 10th in P1, and fifth and sixth in P2.On a Thursday in Monaco, you have many drivers who maybe sandbag three tenths because they dont want to risk it all out, Sainz added.Red Bull speed in Monaco unbelievableYou have teams like Ferrari that maybe havent got it right for a Thursday. You have traffic for your push laps when 22 cars are out on track.But we are bit better than expected, maybe.

The formidable trio of Canadian receivers -- individually known as Chris Getzlaf, Rob Bagg and Andy Fantuz -- will share the field at Mosaic Stadium one more time on Sunday.FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Ryan Fitzpatrick had a tough time just blending in with the crowd this summer during his contract stalemate with the New York Jets.Of course, that mountain man look with his bushy beard and puffed-up pompadour certainly didnt help him stay incognito.Whether it was at the airport, restaurants, public bathrooms or on the golf course, Fitzpatrick heard from fans who wanted to know if hed ever re-sign with the Jets, why he wouldnt accept their initial offer and whether hed retire.Everywhere I went, the Jets quarterback said Saturday, that was the topic of conversation.That included when he was in the New Jersey area. And vacationing in Hayward, Wisconsin. His hometown of Gilbert, Arizona, too. And even Lake Tahoe, California.I mean, everybody had some opinion, Fitzpatrick said. It was because you guys kept putting me on ESPN.Fitzpatrick agreed to a one-year, $12 million deal with the Jets on Wednesday and signed the contract minutes before the teams first training camp practice Thursday. That finally ended a staredown that dragged on since March and had the Jets uncertain who would be under center for them this season.As training camp drew closer, Jets fans let Fitzpatrick know how they felt -- and what he should do.It was a little bit of both, Fitzpatrick said. Some of them were trying to feel it out and buddy me up to get the answer or, `Whats really going on with the situation? They wanted my agents number. Some of them were telling me that I needed to sign. Stop being so greedy.It was just like everything in the book was thrown at me.Fitzpatrick added that for the most part, the fans were mostly respectful about the situation.One reporter suggested that maybe shaving his beard could have made him a little more inconspicuous.Yeah, I could have, Fitzpatrick said. I dont know if it would have helped or not.It all worked out -- eventually. And, Jets fans cheered Fitzpatrick when he jogged onto the practice field Saturday before heavy thunderstorms forced the players indoors and sent the soaked crowd home early.Three practices in, Fitzpatrick appears to have quickly shed the rust of the offseason. He looked sharp Friday and Saturday, connecting with Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker throughout. Just like old times, when he set the franchise record last season with 31 touchdown tosses.Somewhere through the first practice, I started feeling a lot better, Fitzpatrick said. Seeeing things a lot better and the ball coming out of my hand better.ddddddddddddCoach Todd Bowles had the Jets in full pads for the first time in camp and the team worked on red-zone situations throughout. Fitzpatrick acknowledged that he was a bit slow on some throws and not as crisp as hed like.I think it was apparent there that Ive got a long way to go, he said. But I felt good the first few days. My arm feels good and the rapport with the guys is still there. Weve just got to continue to have that upward trend.After Fitzpatrick took over last summer for the injured Geno Smith, who had his jaw broken by a punch from a teammate in the locker room, he quickly got up to speed in Chan Gaileys offense and thrived. The Jets offense ranked 10th overall in the NFL last year, and they were 11th with 24.2 points per game.Marshall set the team records with 109 receptions and 1,502 yards receiving.He is a freak of nature, Fitzpatrick said. He makes my job easy.Meanwhile, Decker established the franchise mark with 10 red-zone touchdown catches. Marshall and Decker, with Fitzpatrick throwing the ball to them, broke the NFL mark for the most games with teammates catching at least one touchdown pass in the same game at 10 games.Well always be a work in progress, Fitzpatrick said. Were always kind of working to get exactly on the same page with timing and depth and all of that stuff.With Fitzpatrick back and the addition of running back Matt Forte, New Yorks offense is expected to be very productive again this season.Weve got to get better, Fitzpatrick said. We did some things that were OK last year, but theres a lot of things that we can improve on. Weve just got to become a smarter football team.Game notesBoth CB Darrelle Revis (wrist) and RB Matt Forte (hamstring) remained out of team drills. Theres no timetable on when they might fully practice. ... Bowles said hes a quote guy when it comes to choosing material to motivate his team.
