Carlos Sainz has been having an outstanding performance during the current 2024 F1 season. Since the announcement of his move to Ferrari in 2025, fans have been curious about his future. The Spaniard has been on a winning streak this season and is surely aiming for a top position in 2025 and beyond.
An ex-F1 team owner recently discussed Carlos Sainz’s potential future at Aston Martin. On the ‘Formula for Success’ podcast, Jordan shared his belief that there is a high chance of Sainz joining his fellow Spaniard and childhood idol, Fernando Alonso, at Aston Martin in 2025.
Carlos has been driving for the Ferrari F1 team since 2021. It wouldn’t be surprising to see an all-Spanish Aston Martin team next year. I firmly believe that if there is no place for him at Red Bull, he will join Fernando at Aston Martin. This is just my gut feeling, and often my intuition differs from others’. It sounds like a beautiful and romantic idea, doesn’t it?
The former Jordan team owner thinks that the pairing of Sainz and Alonso would be fantastic for Aston Martin. If the number 55 decides to make the move to the Silverstone-based team, all eyes will be on Sainz’s future in F1.
During the Formula For Success podcast, Jordan also praised Sainz’s quick recovery from appendicitis surgery and his remarkable victory at the Australian Grand Prix. The Irishman described the speedy recovery as “legendary.”
Jordan commended the Spaniard for his determination to win and succeed at any cost. He was also impressed by Sainz’s ability to remain calm and composed during the 58-lap race at Albert Park after his teammate retired due to brake duct issues.
It’s truly a legendary story where a guy gets out of the hospital after a major operation. Most doctors would say that what happened is impossible, but he went through a grueling process… I saw him getting out of the car, and he was very cautious. He definitely experienced pain during that race. I think the determination in his mind and what his father would have told him in that moment pushed him to get into the race.
Jordan is clearly impressed by the 29-year-old’s determination and drive to outperform his Ferrari teammate throughout the Australian GP weekend. If Carlos Sainz continues to perform as he has been doing this season, he will undoubtedly attract the attention of multiple team principals. Only time will reveal where the number 55 will ultimately end up.
