Carlos Sainz has stood out exceptionally in the 2024 F1 season. After the announcement that he will replace a certain driver at Ferrari in 2025, there were doubts about his motivation for this year. However, Sainz has shown his determination and had his best start to a season in F1.
In the first four out of five rounds of the season, the 29-year-old driver has outperformed his teammate. He even secured a victory in Australia after missing a previous race due to surgery. This exceptional performance has earned praise from the 1997 F1 World Champion.
Sainz has responded impressively after being released by Ferrari. He is not there to play second fiddle to Leclerc, but to showcase his own skills. He has proven to be the only driver to win races for Ferrari in F1 and has adapted well to every team he has been a part of. With his current form, many teams are interested in having him for the 2025 season.
Charles Leclerc, known for his natural talent, has been consistently beaten by Sainz this season. Jacques Villeneuve attributes this to Sainz’s maturity, dedication, intelligence, and hard work. Talents alone are not enough, and Sainz has proven this in every team he has been in. However, Leclerc recently defeated Sainz in China, making the battle between them at Ferrari more intriguing. The upcoming Miami GP will provide another opportunity for both drivers to excel.
