Carlos Sainz is currently without a confirmed position on the grid for the 2025 season. The Scuderia Ferrari driver has shared his thoughts on the speculations and rumors surrounding his future in Formula 1. Sainz will be leaving Ferrari at the end of the season and is awaiting decisions from various teams for the 2025 season.
At the beginning of the 2021 season, Carlos Sainz joined Ferrari and has been a dedicated performer since then. He has achieved three wins and secured 20 podiums in just over three years. However, Sainz received surprising news from Ferrari as they agreed to hire another driver for the upcoming season.
Sainz has reflected on his experience in Formula 1 and learned important lessons, especially about the political nature of the sport. There have been rumors linking him to Williams Racing and Sauber, but he has not yet made a final decision.
The Spanish driver emphasized the need to critically analyze statements and decisions made by individuals in the paddock. He believes it is crucial to trust only a few. Currently, Sainz is aiming for his second win of the season in the upcoming race in Spielberg, following disappointing performances in Montreal and Barcelona.
Carlos Sainz expressed confidence that Ferrari will have a better performance during the Austrian Grand Prix, despite disappointing results in Montreal and Barcelona, even with the introduction of updates. The team faced challenges in the high-speed corners of Barcelona and had a double retirement in the Canadian Grand Prix.
Although Ferrari has had a strong season so far, currently occupying second place in the championship, their performance has not been consistent since the victory in Monte Carlo. They have scored only 18 points in the last two races.
Carlos Sainz stated that Ferrari has been struggling to find pace on tracks with long and fast corners in Formula 1. However, he believes that the upcoming race at the demanding Red Bull Ring will be suitable for the team based in Maranello, as they have already achieved success at the circuit in the 2022 season.
