While he only has six races left with the Italian team after four years spent aboard the cars of Maranellothe driver from our country confirmed that he wanted to win one more race in this final straight before leaving for Williams in 2025. His last victory dates back to Australian Grand Prix of this World of Formula 1but there are still several options left to leave with a good taste in the mouth.
Whether he succeeds or not, Sainz has already left his mark, but the Spaniard, whose ambition is infinite, wants it to be even more widespread before the seven-time world champion replaces him next year. Lewis Hamilton. Remember that the Madrilenian has three victories in F1: Silver Stone 2022, Singapore 2023 and Melbourne 2024.
“The first thing on my list is to try to win at least one more time with Ferrari before leaving,” said the Hispanic driver. The first opportunity to achieve this will be Austinthe date you want to reach with the resolution of your team’s main problem. It was none other than the difference in performance between qualifying and the race, which weighed on them throughout the championship, both him and Charles Leclerc make an even greater effort than usual on Sunday.
“Obviously the first thing on my list is to try to win at least one more time with Ferrari before leaving. It’s in my head, not because I’m going to leave at the end of the year with Ferrari, but because I always try to win every race I go to,” he added in statements. Reported by F1 Undeniably, Sainz knows that next season it will be quite difficult to repeat these kinds of glorious moments.

Sainz wants victory… and the Constructors’ World Cup
“Let’s see. At the same time, there’s still a third of the season left.

Ferrari was already the second team in 2022 and now wants to repeat it, without refusing to fight until the end even for the title.
“We will try. I think we also need to show progress in other types of circuits like BrazilAustin, Qatar and Abu Dhabi, which are more normal circuits”, he insisted in his last words. “If we progress there, I think we could have a chance. If in these circuits we continue behind like in places like Spa either Hungaryso that means we have a lot of work to do,” Sainz said on the matter.
