Carlo Sainz has been dumped by Ferrari and will soon have to decide on his future: here’s what’s been happening in the last few hours
Summer has begun and the paddock of Formula 1 is increasingly hotter, but not only because of the constantly rising temperatures. In fact, there are also several market rumours that are heating up the Circus, many of which are linked to the Carlos Sainz’s future. As known, the Spanish driver will leave the Ferrari at the end of the season to make room for Lewis Hamilton and will soon have to choose which team he will continue his career with.
In recent months there have been various rumors regarding Sainz’s future. First of all, those that they wanted him about to marry Red Bull or Mercedes. Both options, however, soon vanished from Sainz’s squad as the Milton Keynes team preferred to renew Sergio Perez while the Silver Arrows have decided to go “all in” on the young Italian talent Kimi Antonelli. To date, therefore, there are three alternatives left to the Madrid-born son of art.
Carlos Sainz at the crossroads: here are the latest options for the Spaniard’s future
The remaining alternatives for Sainz’s future are in detail Audi, Williams e AlpineThe Ingolstadt giant will enter Formula 1 in 2026 and in the meantime has offered him a seat at Sauber for 2025. A transition year that does not excite the good Carlos, whose preference tends towards Grove and Enstone.
Moreover, Williams and Alpine want to relaunch themselves after years of poor satisfaction and they proposed the Iberian a leading role in their respective projects. A role that the current Ferrari driver would gladly accept and therefore he has been reflecting – for a while now – on which of the two could be the right choice for his sporting career.
What is certain, however, is that Sainz won’t be able to wait much longer: first of all, the interested teams are pushing to close quickly and have started to evaluate other profiles; secondly, the drop in performance shown by the Prancing Horse in the last Grand Prix could significantly influence the performance of the driver, who seriously risks being left holding the baby. In short, Sainz finds himself in a general “ultimatum” situation to which he will soon have to give an answer. We will have to wait and see what the decision of the number 55 leaving the red team will be in the end.
