Charles Leclerc is not worried about the future of Carlos Sainz in Formula 1, as he believes that all the teams on the grid would be eager to have him. Leclerc and Sainz had a successful race at the Australian Grand Prix, with Sainz taking the lead in Lap 2 and securing the victory. Leclerc finished right behind him in second place.
During the post-race press conference, Leclerc was asked about Sainz’s future and whether he is an underrated driver. Leclerc dismissed these claims, stating that Sainz is highly regarded in the sport and should be on the radar of every team principal for the 2025 season. Leclerc also mentioned that there must be many team principals speaking to Sainz now that he will be replaced in 2025.
The victory in Australia was unexpected, considering the dominance of Red Bull. It was also significant for Ferrari, as it was their first 1-2 finish since the opening race in Bahrain in 2022. Leclerc praised Sainz for his outstanding performance and emphasized the importance of the result for the team. He acknowledged that he could have performed better himself and plans to work on improving his tire management in the upcoming weeks before the race in Japan.
