The signing of Lewis Hamilton for Ferrari shakes the foundations and ensures a stupid season in Formula 1
Carlos Sainz will fulfill his contract with Ferrari until 2024 and from 2025, Hamilton and Leclerc will form the next line-up of the Maranello team. Some doors are closed and others are open for the 29-year-old Spanish driver, highly regarded by the entire Formula 1 “main team” for his ability to be fast in various cars.
And the silly season of the 2024 F1 season looked surprising after 2023 was the first year in the championship’s history where there were no changes to the driver line-up the following year. However, no one could imagine that with a total of 14 pilots without a contract, The big surprise was Carlos Sainz for the 2025 season.
The Spaniard, who is highly valued by the main teams, can opt for several free midfielders
Since I left Toro Rosso, Sainz He’s been through Renault, McLaren and Ferrari and has been on the car’s level in some races. His time in Woking put him in the real top six on the grid, and with the Italians he lived up to expectations, reaching a technical tie with Leclerc at 3-2 in wins for Charles and 2-1 in the World Cup standings.
Furthermore, few drivers offer two wins, five pole positions, 18 podiums and a decade of experience in Formula 1 in 2025. Without talking about specific offers, we can talk about available options and hugely interested teams. There are freewheels at Williams, Mercedes, Aston Martin, Sauber, which will be Audi in 2026, Alpine and Red Bull.
Outside of Ferrari, these would be Carlos Sainz’s goals for 2025
The Audi project is the one in which Sainz has attracted the most public interest in recent months, even when he was still negotiating with Ferrari. It is led by Andreas Seidl, who was already at the helm of McLaren alongside the Spaniard. With the change in regulations, 2025 would be a transition year until 2026 between Audi and its German-made engine.
After the news became official at Mercedes and Ferrari, Sainz commented on his social networks: “After today’s news, Ferrari and I will no longer continue together from the end of 2024. We still have a long season ahead of us and, as always, I will give everything for the team and the “Tifosi” around the world. We will announce news about my future in due course.”
