Sainz says he has ‘plenty of options’ when he leaves Ferrari in 2025
Associated PressMARANELLO, Italy — Carlos Sainz Jr. believes he has “plenty of options” in Formula 1 next year when he leaves Ferrari to make way for Lewis Hamilton, the Spaniard said Tuesday. “There’s plenty of options out there” for 2025, Sainz said as Ferrari launched its 2024 car Tuesday, adding he had some advance notice that Hamilton was taking his Ferrari seat but was surprised all the same. I have, ahead of me, probably my most important three or four years of my career, you know, where I want to make sure that I am in the right place at the right time,” Sainz said. Then I can just feel confident, when I take the decision, I’ve given myself enough time and enough information.” Sainz is heading into his fourth and final season with Ferrari, where he took his first F1 win in Britain in 2022 and was the only non-Red Bull driver to win a race last season with victory in Singapore.
