Carlos Sainz, widely regarded as one of the top Formula 1 drivers, has faced a challenging period at Ferrari recently. Although he has been replaced on the team for the 2025 season onwards, Sainz remains unfazed about his future in the sport. With a long and successful career in Formula 1, Sainz firmly believes in his abilities as a driver and maintains an optimistic outlook for his prospects beyond 2025.
In a conversation with Sky Sports, Sainz expressed his calmness regarding the loss of his coveted Ferrari seat. He recognizes his value as a racing driver and therefore, is not overly concerned about what lies ahead for him after 2025. Speculation has linked Sainz to potential moves to teams such as Mercedes, Audi, and Red Bull.
While Sainz will need to find a new team at the conclusion of the 2024 F1 season, it is important to acknowledge his exceptional speed as a driver. Despite the dominance of Red Bull in the 2023 campaign, Sainz emerged as the only non-Red Bull driver to secure a Grand Prix victory.
His triumph came at the Singapore Grand Prix, where Red Bull had an uncharacteristically poor performance. Starting from pole position after an impressive qualifying session, Sainz delivered a flawless 62-lap race to claim the win.
Despite facing late pressure from competitors like Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton, Sainz demonstrated his composure and skill. As he prepares to depart from Ferrari at the end of this year, Sainz aims to make a lasting impact by delivering a strong performance in the 2024 F1 season.
