The present is in red, but the future is still to be written. Carlos Sainz and Ferrari will part ways at the end of the season, after 3 years in which the Spaniard has won the affection of the fans by proving to be a constant and reliable driver. “I have mixed feelings“, Sainz told Sportweek, “now we’re starting to see the growth of the project, the car is better and I have confidence in driving it. It makes me feel happy for this year, but sad that we won’t continue the journey together. But that’s life. It wasn’t my decision, but maybe there will be better things to come.”

Ferrari in the heart
The first pole position, the first victory and many other moments to remember such as the successes in Singapore in 2023 and in Mellbourne this year. Ferrari gave a lot to Sainz and the Spaniard will have fond memories of his experience at Maranello: “He introduced me to the passion that people can have for a team, a warmth like that you don’t feel in other teams. Humanly, this affects you….”.
“I smile thinking about the future…”
“With each passing season I feel like a better rider. I have always wanted to be a good name to occupy the most important seats in Formula 1 and frankly I hope it goes that way for many years to come“. Sainz will have to decide where to race in the future, taking into account the regulatory changes in 2026 which could change the balance of power between the teams. The Spaniard, however, is in no hurry and is not worried about what awaits him: “I smile thinking about the future even if what will happen does not depend solely on me. All options are open, but it takes time and it won’t affect the way I run.”
