Carlos Sainz feels that now is the time to “speed up”
negotiations and sort his future “sooner rather than later” as he continues to
assess his options for 2025.
The Spaniard was left without a seat on the grid for next
year following the news that Ferrari had signed Lewis Hamilton on a multi-year
contract, meaning that Sainz entered the 2024 season knowing it would be his
last with the Scuderia.
BARRETTO: He’s hot property after his brilliant Melbourne
win – but where will Sainz be racing in 2025?
Off the back of his victory last time out in Australia,
Sainz gave an update on the discussions about his future ahead of the upcoming
fourth race of the campaign in Japan.
“I’m talking obviously to a few [teams], because that’s what
my management team and myself should do when I don’t have a job for next year
yet,” the 29-year-old explained. “We’re talking to pretty much all of them.
“It’s just a matter of obviously going more into detail and
seeing the more realistic options, and what are the best options for me and for
my future. I don’t have any news for you, nothing to say here today.
