Charles Leclerc is not worried about Carlos Sainz’s future in Formula 1, as he believes all teams on the grid would be eager to have him. Leclerc and Sainz had a successful race at the Australian Grand Prix, with Sainz taking the lead on lap 2 and securing the victory. Leclerc finished just behind him in second place.
During the post-race press conference, Leclerc was asked about Sainz’s future and whether he is an underrated driver. Leclerc dismissed these claims, stating that Sainz is highly regarded in the sport and should be on the radar of all team bosses for the 2025 season. Leclerc also mentioned that there must be many team bosses talking to Sainz now that he will be replaced in 2025.
The victory in Australia was unexpected, considering Red Bull’s dominance. It was also significant for Ferrari, as it was their first 1-2 since the opening race in Bahrain in 2022. Leclerc praised Sainz for his exceptional performance and emphasized the importance of the result for the team. He acknowledged that he could have done better and plans to work on improving tire management in the coming weeks before the race in Japan.
