At the center of the discussions
The fantastic success achieved in Australia – two weeks after the appendicitis operation – has put Carlos Sainz even more at the center of the driver market for the 2025 season. Even before the start of the championship the Spaniard, released by Ferrari to be able to bring Lewis Hamilton to red next year, was one of the most coveted names on the grid. Now, inevitably, his prices have risen further.
Red Bull, Mercedes, Aston Martin and Sauber/Audi seem to be the four teams most likely to be able to hire the #55 from Madrid. At the moment, however, it is difficult to identify a favorite team among these. In recent days, rumors have filtered out from Germany according to which the house of the Rings – which will enter F1 in 2026 with its own official team which will take over Sauber – would have given as ultimatum to Sainz mid-April to accept or reject your offer.
Hurry to decide
In Japan, speaking with journalists who asked him for news on his future, Sainz explained that he had not yet made any decisions, but that he still wanted to speed up. Words that might sound like one confirmation of the deadline imposed by Audi and therefore of the need for the Iberian to also have the proposals of the rival teams clear in front of him.
“We're talking to pretty much everyone – commented the Ferrari driver – it's just a matter of digging into the details and seeing which options are the most realistic, the best for me and my future. I have no news to give you today. The only thing I would say is that, obviously, now is the time to speed everything up. We hope to be able to resolve the issue as soon as possible“, concluded Sainz.
