toAlthough Carlos Sainz and Ferrari are determined to stop the question of a possible renewal with Ferrari, after 2024, the date on which his current contract expires, this question is being asked of the Madrid driver again and again. that – that, In addition to the persistent rumors of an exit from Audi from 2025, which the pilot has already canceled several times over the course of the year.
“I agree with Fred (Vassoseur), at the moment Ferrari has other priorities than driver contracts. There is no time to think about what will happen, my priority is to compete with the team, I do not worry about where I will be in 2025Carlos answered back at the press conference prior to the Hungarian Grand Prix on Thursday.
Vasseur himself also offers MARCA has been able to confirm, it will be in September when talks start, There is no set date for its settlement. Perhaps by February 2024 there will be news in this regard and positive news for the Spanish pilot.
optimal work
Carlos has every consideration for the current French CEO of Scuderia. His work and his characteristics, with performances better than Leclerc in the last three races, above all, do not go unnoticed. Dedication is also appreciated and there are few drivers who can take their place in a team with such a complex car Like the one Sainz has had to drive in those two and a half seasons he’s spent at Maranello. It’s not that Carlos assumes he will continue, far from it, but he does see that he has good options to continue.
Some doubts arise about his teammate’s condition. Ferrari wants to renew it from 2024, but rumors of interest from other teams do not stop coming from the pilot’s environment: Mercedes first, Aston Martin later, and even Red Bull for the future, Something that looks rather strange if Verstappen continues to control the other car.
Hamilton, Stoke
In this sense, Lewis Hamilton could be the key to a possible market earthquake, since he is one of the few to end at the end of 2023 and negotiations with Toto Wolff are rumored to be somewhat stagnant or very stagnant. It’s not so much about the salary (about 35 million), how much about the term of the new contract. Apparently, Lewis wanted a very long-term contract and Mercedes would give him a 1 + 1, perhaps waiting for Leclerc himself.
