WOKING, England (Reuters) - Carlos Sainz wants to stay at McLaren and is talking already to the former Formula One champions about a contract extension beyond 2020.

Speaking to reporters at the launch of the team's new MCL35 car, the 25-year-old Spaniard made clear he had no desire to go elsewhere having joined from Renault at the end of 2018 on a multi-year deal.
