F1 | Sainz: “Every option is viable for my future”

The future of Carlos Sainz is still to be written. The Spaniard, who will leave his seat at Ferrari to Lewis Hamilton at the end of the season, has not yet chosen the destination where he will continue his career in Formula 1. At the same time, the current standard bearer of the Cavallino, who has had an excellent start so far of the season which saw him win the event held at the end of March on the street track of Albert Park in Melbourne, he has the opportunity to better evaluate the proposals that come his way.

Among the most talked about teams about Sainz are Mercedes and Sauber (Audi). The house of the Star has not yet expressed its opinion on the replacement of Lewis Hamilton, as well as future teammate of George Russell, as the Hinwil team is grappling with the choice of the ideal line up in view of the partnership with the house of the four rings. In this regard, yesterday Sauber made the hiring of Nico Hulkenberg official for 2025, the first step in a process that will see the Swiss team change its skin in terms of driver training.

“All options are viable right now for me because I don't have a contract for next year, so I have to consider everything,” Sainz said as quoted by RacingNews365.

The Spaniard then added: “Given the huge regulatory change in 2026, I look at 2026 as a bit of a coin toss. It's impossible to know right now who will do well."
