Carlos Sainz has been plying his trade with Ferrari since 2021. The former two-time world champion believes that Ferrari is losing a valuable asset in the form of Sainz. In February, Ferrari announced their partnership with another driver from 2025 onwards, leaving Sainz without a contract for the upcoming season. However, this could be a great opportunity for teams like Mercedes, Aston Martin, and Red Bull.
Sainz has been the most consistent driver on the grid and his remarkable victory at the Australian GP, just two weeks after undergoing an appendectomy, has made him the center of attention. As of now, he has garnered a lot of interest from various teams for a seat in 2025.
Mika Hakkinen recently took a moment to reflect on this situation. It is undeniable that many have their sights set on Sainz for the next season of top-tier motor racing. In addition to the aforementioned teams, Audi has also shown persistent interest in the Spaniard. Now, the ball is in Sainz’s court and he holds the power over his own destiny.
With all eyes on Carlos Sainz, he has officially begun his search for a new team for the upcoming season. It comes as no surprise that he has become the most sought-after driver in the market, as many teams have not yet finalized their driver line-ups for next year. Despite the rumors, the 29-year-old is eager to expedite the process and determine his best options.
Sainz’s management has been in discussions with almost every available team on the grid, but now it is time for them to narrow down their choices. The most appealing seat for next season is with Red Bull, and Sainz would ideally like to secure that position alongside another driver.
