Carlos Sainz needs to find a place for the 2025 season after Lewis Hamilton’s decision to join Ferrari next year. The upcoming 2024 Formula 1 season is about to begin, with the first race taking place this weekend. This means that teams are meticulously preparing to perform well throughout the season and have a chance at the championship. The driver market will be completely open until 2025, and there are several drivers whose contracts will expire. One of these drivers is Carlos Sainz, whose contract will end in 2024. Another driver who currently has no place beyond 2024 is [driver’s name].
There are several drivers who are eager to secure a possible spot at Red Bull. [Driver’s name] has already been considered as a potential option for the team. However, Carlos Sainz also finds himself without a place in Formula 1 for 2025 due to [driver’s name]’s surprising move to Ferrari. As a result, Sainz has also been considered as a potential candidate to join Milton Keynes if the 33-year-old driver is removed from the team.
However, it has been assured that Sainz is unlikely to join the team if [driver’s name] leaves. The performance of the 33-year-old driver throughout the season will determine discussions about his future with the team. Therefore, Carlos Sainz will likely finalize his team well before that, according to [person’s name]. Consequently, Sainz is unlikely to join Red Bull next year.
Red Bull has once again developed an extremely dominant car for the 2024 Formula 1 season. Ferrari, on the other hand, also has hopes of achieving great results in the 2024 season following the excellent performance of the SF24. However, Sainz expressed his thoughts on Ferrari’s chances of winning against Milton Keynes throughout the season.
The Spaniard mentioned that the SF24 provided a much better feeling compared to the challenging SF23 of 2023. However, the 29-year-old driver acknowledged that the new pace was still not enough to compete, let alone win, against the dominant Red Bulls. The team’s lap times with the C3 compound made it clear how well Red Bull will fare throughout the season.
Regardless of the competition, Carlos Sainz needs to perform well in the sport. The Spaniard needs to prove his skills to secure his place in Formula 1. Currently, he is without a place and needs to soon secure a place with a team beyond 2025. Sainz recently mentioned a deadline to confirm his team within the sport after being removed from Maranello.
