The future of Carlos Sainz in Formula 1 has become uncertain after Ferrari’s decision to hire Lewis Hamilton for the 2025 season. Sainz, who currently does not have a contract beyond 2025, has been the subject of rumors that Audi (previously known as Stake F1) is interested in hiring him. In a recent update, Sainz discussed his contract negotiations in the paddock, revealing that he has been in contact with several teams to explore his options. Although he is looking for the most realistic and favorable seat for the next season, Sainz stated that he has no news to share at the moment.
Looking ahead, Sainz plans to expedite the negotiation process with his management team. This is in line with reports suggesting that Audi has given him a two-week deadline to sign with the team. Despite undergoing an appendicitis surgery, Sainz recovered quickly and even secured a notable victory for Scuderia Ferrari in Melbourne. When asked about his physical condition, Sainz confirmed that he feels completely fit, although he admitted that he is not yet lifting the same weights as before.
In recent months, Sainz has made an impressive recovery and remains determined to prove his worth in Formula 1. Fans can expect him to fiercely compete for a victory in the next race.
