“I went into the winter of 2023 thinking and almost being I’m 90% sure I was going to renew my contract with Ferrari“: this is how energetic and sincere he appears Carlos Sainz in an interview with ‘Mundo Deportivo’, asked about the plot twist that his future took after signing Lewis Hamilton by Ferrari.
The ’55’, seen in red in 2025, had to look for options outside the ‘Scuderia’ and after knocking on the doors of Mercedes And Red Bull and only with offers from Williams, Audi And Alpine on the table, he decided to move to Grove.
But,why Red Bull didn’t bet on him see the notable decline of “Checo” Pérez? Sainz simply believes that he does not have the “driver profile” that the Mexican has.
“I think it’s fair I’m not the driver Red Bull is looking for right now, in the team situation where they have the same I’m not the driver profile they prefer to have“, he stressed.
“And it doesn’t bother me at all. I prefer to go for an option like Williamswho have been looking for me since the beginning and it is a project that motivates me and in which I believe I will have good opportunities in the future”, he added.
Of course, he doesn’t close the door to any options for the future: “I’m going to leave Ferrari’s door open, Just like I leave open that of all the teams I have crossed because you never know when you’ll need it.”
