Carlos Sainz must find a place for the 2025 season following Lewis Hamilton’s decision to join Ferrari next year. The upcoming 2024 F1 season is set to begin soon, with the first race taking place this weekend. This means that teams are preparing meticulously in order to perform well throughout the season and have a chance at the championship. The driver market will completely open up by 2025, and there are several drivers whose contracts will expire. One of these drivers is Carlos Sainz, whose contract will end in 2024. Another driver who currently does not have a seat beyond 2024 is [driver’s name].
There are multiple drivers who are eager to secure the potential vacant seat at Red Bull. [Driver’s name] was previously considered as a potential option for the team. However, Carlos Sainz also finds himself without a seat in F1 for 2025 due to [driver’s name]’s surprising move to Ferrari. As a result, Sainz was also considered as a potential candidate to join Milton Keynes if the 33-year-old were to be removed from the team.
However, it has been assured that Sainz is unlikely to join the team if [driver’s name] leaves. The 33-year-old’s performance throughout the season will determine discussions about his future with the team. Therefore, Carlos Sainz is likely to finalize his team well before that, according to [person’s name]. Consequently, Sainz is unlikely to join Red Bull next year.
Red Bull has once again developed an extremely dominant car for the 2024 Formula 1 season. Ferrari, on the other hand, is also hopeful of achieving great results in the 2024 season following the SF24’s excellent performance. However, Sainz expressed his thoughts on Ferrari’s chances of winning against Milton Keynes throughout the season.
The Spaniard mentioned that the SF24 provided a much better sensation compared to the SF23 challenger from 2023. However, the 29-year-old acknowledged that the newfound pace was still not enough to compete, let alone win, against the dominant Red Bulls. The team’s lap times on the C3 compound clearly demonstrated how well Red Bull will perform throughout the season.
Regardless of the competition, Carlos Sainz must perform well in the sport. The Spaniard needs to prove his skills in order to secure his place in Formula 1. He is currently without a seat and must soon secure a place with a team beyond 2025. Sainz recently mentioned a timeline for confirming his team within the sport after being removed from Maranello.
