- Carlos Sainz is at the top of his game right now but finds himself without a seat in F1 for next season. With Ferrari signing Lewis Hamilton and Carlos driving better than ever, is it the right move? Carlos Sainz has been a solid performer since he entered Formula 1 and has gained experience at a number of different teams. His ability to adapt and be on pace fairly quickly has other teams looking for his services in 2025, but is a part of Ferrari regretting the Lewis Hamilton move? Enjoy!

Talking about Carlos' adaptability, He's been in 4 VERY different cars, with 3 different engine manufactures, and has consistently performed in all of them.
He didn’t perform in Renault and struggled in the 2022 Ferrari
@@paperplane-db8qf16 points less than hulkenberg in 2018 is not bad, plus he was ahead in 2017. And 2022 he just had to adjust to the new ground effect car which suited leclerc. Now hes doing amazing
@@SW-8228 Sainz was in a better car than Hulkenberg in 2017. In 2018 Hulkenberg had a lot of reliability issues, Sainz didn’t.
And he was worse than Leclerc in 2023 also.
@@paperplane-db8qf sainz and hulkenberg were both in a renault in 2017.
@@paperplane-db8qf
He was slower than Hulkenberg, but he wasn't bad at all and he didn't made any mistakes (contrarily to Nico), he is the one who picked up Renault's best result that year.
2022 is where he showed his limits under pressure with an oversteer car.
Carlos has abandoned his 2nd driver mentality, his now a lion hungry trying to get what he deserves.
Whoever manages to grab Carlos is one lucky team.

Has to be Sauber( I know they're sh*t but it makes sense long-term for carlos
@@ThatGitGGBOY that doesn't make any sense since audi would be too risky for him
@@jszn1maybe but the sainz family have good relations with audi, carlos sainz sr does dakar with audi and the german company have shown interest in potentially hiring sainz jr when they join f1
@@srthebox4946 The only problem is, Sauber or Audi later probably isn't ready until 2026, yes it could be a long-term for Sainz Jr. but at the moment he needed seat for 2025, who knows where Sainz Jr. Would go after 2024😮😮

Does he really need all his fingers and toes?

If Carlos is without a seat and Lance is still on the grid, i will implode.
That probably isn't going to happen, if he isn't able to get that red bull seat, it would kind of be silly for merc to snap him up for at least the short term until Antonelli comes up.
@@Actul_Trapnah Alonso will be the one to go to Mercedes as a stop gap for Antonelli. He doesn't really have many years left in F1 and doesn't make much sense to sign Sainz. He will probably go to Aston
@@jumpcutfilms1958Problem with that is that Mercedes isn't really better than Aston Martin at the moment. so why go there? We'll have to see.
Lance will always have a seat until he decides it's time to move on from Formula 1
@@RonArendse Lance will have a seat until 2124
I feel like Ferrari will have no regrets choosing Lewis over Carlos. It's probably just as much of a marketing thing as it is a pace/speed thing. But it is nice to see Carlos leaving Ferrari like this by winning another race.
Being the only non-Red Bull driver in 2023 to have won a race at a year when Red Bull had a record breaking season is nothing to scoff at.
Lewis is a Diversity Hire, little more.
Right now? Only marketing and we'll see it.
They’ll regret it was Lewis starts demanding they hire more gay black people
@@amrakunish5238 You are kidding yourself. Going extreme on the recency bias. I have more questions on Leclerc's performance than on Hamilton's. Hamilton is a more than proven driver and this drop in performance seems pretty normal in such a situation - world champions tend to perform worse on uncompetitive cars, let alone when their exit from the team is already set as well. He was P3 in the WDC just a few months ago.
Now, this year is important for Leclerc to put himself in the best position possible when such a teammate comes. But right now he can't even dominate his "underrated" teammate. His performance deserved more scrutiny to be honest.
As per Sainz' underrating, I think it is down to the fact he was never branded as a top driver or a very hot prospect. He seemed to be a reliable mid-fielder but somehow he keeps evolving at a stage you don't expect drivers to develop anymore and this gives an impression that he is always punching above his weight.
Carlos is a chameleon of a driver. It seems like everywhere he goes, he does a good job of getting damn near the max out of the car. He's got speed, intelligence, adaptability, and consistency. He's kind of got all the individual things that you really want in a driver, even if he doesn't necessarily top any individual category. Just a superb all-around driver.
In particular, I think he strongly complements the Ferrari team, their car, and Leclerc. Not only is he usually there to pick up the slack when Charles struggles, he's also a more forceful driver who isn't afraid to tell them when they're getting the strategy wrong. I'm sure that Ferrari didn't hesitate to sign Hamilton, but that still doesn't mean that it wasn't a tough decision to let Sainz go.
Yeah he is consistent.... at crashing
Carlos is THE SMOOTH OPERATOR
The thing I like about Sainz is his consistency. Comes up with strategy while racing, underrated racecraft, can hit a purple patch when it matters most. Charles may be quick over one lap, but I feel like he crumbles under pressure(not counting reliability).
When was the last time that happened? This recency bias is insane
recency bias at it's finest. Where was Calos in early 2022? When pace really matterd huh?
Charles hasn't been making that many mistakes lately, I think he improved on that.
Carlos is great. Not as good as leclerc but he’s been excellent. Leclerc is generational talent. Ferrari knows what they’re doing.
I don’t remember Sainz being in the championship battle with max in early 2022..oh wait it was Leclerc 😒
It should’ve been Sainz Hamilton. People give Leclerc this almost mystical aura when in reality; whenever the pressure and heat ramps up, Charles always makes mistakes under pressure while Sainz doesn’t
Carlos deserves the world! All of the teams he goes to seem to always have a preference towards the other driver. I want to see him be a number 1 driver at a team.
And some people are still asking if he can be a number one and just assume he will be worse than Charles every weekend. As a Carlos fan, im genuinely happy hes showing his worth.
Charles keeps beating him.
But has Charles beaten max verstapen?
SMOOTH OPERATOR!!!!!!!!!!
@@JasonAtlascarlos is great but chuck beat max on pure pace
The recency bias is WAY TOO EXTREME. I have more questions on Leclerc's performance than on Hamilton's. Hamilton is a more than proven driver and this drop in performance seems pretty normal in such a situation - world champions tend to perform worse on uncompetitive cars, let alone when their exit from the team is already set as well. Remember he was P3 and almost P2 in the WDC just a few months ago!
Now, this year is important for Leclerc to put himself in the best position possible when such a teammate comes. But right now he can't even dominate his "underrated" teammate. His performance deserved more scrutiny to be honest.

Carlos is the kind of driver that improves every year but he's too respectful and collected which is great for the team but we know he's got the bad boy in him when he needs.
Ferrari hired Carlos to be the second driver...they had no idea what they unleashed and have had headaches ever since 2021.
I know what you mean but I don't believe that Carlos was a headache for Ferrari, he has been very well behaved and a good team player.
People often forget he’s been on different teams and usually the car is tailored to the other driver. He’s very adaptable. Would love to see him at Red Bull. He wants a fast car. Max will be #1 but that’s true no matter what team Carlos joins. He can get a bunch more podiums and points with Red Bull.
I will laugh like crazy if Lewis in his “washed” state comes into the team and in his first qualifying gets eliminated in q1
People said the same about Perez when he scored a couple of decent finishes after being out of a job for the season after. Wishful thinking to create a nice ‘storyline’.
I think it was a win either way for Ferrari. Sainz is good and is a very consistent driver. And Lewis is a legend.
I think Lewis going to Ferrari might actually be better in the long-term as Lewis is nearing the end of his career. It sets it up perfectly for Bearman in the future, or Max to try and win with Ferrari too.
Max at Ferrari hahahahaha
Carlos needed a fire lit under him. The thing that makes his driving unique, the calm and cerebral nature, makes him complacent at times. Piss him off by betraying him for a marketing decision is the very thing he needed to get him to let out his aggression. He’s been surgical behind the wheel this season so far.
Ferrari made the biggest mistake by taking Carloz out.. He's going to be the next champ.. Very strong at heart and highly experienced. And a, driver you can depend on.
Carlos has achieved more in 2 years at Ferrari than Charles did in 6
how 😭
Ppl questioned if Carlos was good enough for Ferrari in 2022 y’all have short memories, Lewis also finished best of the rest last season. Recency bias is crazy
Honestly as a Ferrari fan since the 2000´s I´m so freaking pumped for Hamilton. I keep explaining to people that this is a damn good deal and he smoked Carlos last year in an arguably worse car. The thing I love about Hamilton is even when he´s pissed off or angry he doesn´t throw it away like Seb or Charles does, we will finally have a driver that doesn´t throw races away.
@@MrSilverfish12To be fair in 2023 you could also argue that the Ferrari was a worser too race wise with the tire deg. Carlos would’ve definitely finished above Charles last year if it wasn’t for the bogus penalties he got in Australia and especially in Vegas.
@@MrSilverfish12 Are you serious?
Ever heard him try and convince the team to save the car or engine for another day? How many races have you actually watched?
@@DF-et4gs enough to know he's not slow like Carlos and doesn't crash under pressure like Charles. Yes I did watch Germany 2019 and many other races where Lewis was yelling over the radio, he would still win the title regardless. Seb and Charles often had a continuation of errors, something Lewis isn't prone to.
@@jamarij5814 and what about Charles and his issues? You just gonna ignore that? Charles also didn't choke away P2 for Ferrari in Ahbu Dhabi last year. Thats the thing with Carlos, he's a garbage time racer and folds when there's something actually worth winning.
Imagine Carlos to RedBull and Checo ends up taking Yuki’s spot if he goes elsewhere.
RB would then be the RedBull pasture.
People overhyped too much after the win but yeah he is a really good driver but Ferrari don't care about Sainz while they can have Lewis
I've been saying Carlos is the most underrated driver out there since he was Max's team mate. He's the only person to take it to max in the same car.
in 2018 Sainz was also given the boot by a factory team in favor of much expencive move, and he came out on top with a riscky move to mclaren, i belive this time he will also come out on top!
Carlos IS a very good driver that is indisputable. However, I dont personally think Ferarri made a mistake per se, in signing Hamilton.
Carlos is a driver any team should want. He has qualities on and off track. He is an adaptable driver capable of dealing with changeable situations, and he has that positive energy any team can use. He had a pretty solid time with Mclaren and with Ferrari you could feel the team attitude change for the better when he joined. I think signing Lewis is a mistake, I suspect he needs at least a season to get used to the team and I think there might be a possible ego clash between him and Charles. It’s also pretty clear Lewis has other interests than racing so he might leave F1 in a couple of years, while Carlos has a much better expiration date. Just look at Sainz Sr.. he is still winning Rally titles.
Lewis is a better driver than Carlos. Lewis fought for second last season with a fucking tractor. Carlos is good but Lewis is a much better driver.
@@Hamilton8timeChampion Ah a dellulu fanboy. Lulu is a seven time world champion. Max is a three time wold champion.
@@FH4Player6397 No Abu Dhabi the FIA admitted the rules weren't followed.
@@Hamilton8timeChampion christ bro, calma. It's been three years almost. Move on for gods sake. it happened, it's done and if you have doubts, check wikipedia (pun very much intended).
And to say that the mercedes last year was a tractor is kinda deceitful for a car that is the 2nd/3rd quickest (all tho Lewis did have a great season last year, no denying that)
@@maxholmgren7936 "move on" because rules doesnt matter to some F1 fans it seems. They dont want a fair and healthy sport just some kind of drama farm
It was only one race win mate, and he would've finished 2nd if Verstappen hadn't retired. We all know he was an amazing driver from day one, but he has only won 3 races for Ferrari, and each time he won, Verstappen was compromised. I think Sainz going back to Red Bull to be Max's (let's be honest) wing man would be a backward step, he is not going to knock boy golden Verstappen off his number 1 throne, also Max would be able to veto the deal anyway.. Unless Carlos knows Max is moving to Mercedes, I just think joining Red Bull in its current state would not be the right move. I think to be a championship contender you need to be the clear number 1 at a team, so I think joining soon to be Audi as their talisman is his best option.
im gonna be pissed if he has to go to a team that will waste his potential like vcarb, sauber, williams, alpine etc
Ferrari messed up big time, I just hope this season is the one where Carlos wins multiple times for the first time in a single season just to make Ferrari see they were wrong to drop him, plus it will make Carlos look even more attractive to other teams who will want to sign him
Charles Sainz Jr., Carlos Leclerc pairing is top tier and its a shame its being broken up, but, such is life . . . .
I swear people especially fans today have such short term memories and have selective amnesia!
Max dnf, and now Carlos been hyped as the next generational talent, whilst Charles has been the better driver every season as teammates. (2021 reliability was a btch tho)
@@neverenoughgames72 so true. It's annoying trying to explain why Leclerc is better than Sainz with last years performance results. These people have memory erased every damn week.
I love Carlos but Ferrari replaced him with a 7x WC not with a random rookie. Yes, LH is at the end of his career but he will bring experience, know how and engineers. Why is it so difficult to understand?
@@neverenoughgames72 Yeah exactly. Perez was literally 2nd in the Championship last year and everyone was saying Ricciardo was gonna replace him. Now it's the popular thing to hate on Ricciardo because somebody on social media said to, now everyone forgets they liked Ricciardo last year.
Because for drivers they like, one good race is more important than a 100 mediocre or bad races.
Whereas for drivers the fans hate, one bad race is more important than 100+ good ones.
@@neverenoughgames72 Yeah they did the same thing with Bearman it's just ridiculous
Carlos deserves more than the flogs are ferrari are able / willing to give. He will do well without them hindering his progress by favoring Charles in pretty much everything available to make a choice on. Its going to be interesting when Charles has to play 2nd fiddle next year. Hes a much better driver than LH who is completely washed now, so it will certainly be interesting to see.
Fun fact: He's had Max, Lando and Charles as teammates and he managed to match all of them. I think people say Sainz is underrated because of that season and a bit he had at Renault where the car was mediocre, but even then he himself had a decent season so I don't get why people say he's bad
I don't think they regret it, yet... but I think they will. I don't think Hamilton being there is gonna work out the way they're hoping. Leclerc/Sainz was the best partnership on the grid.
Look, Carlos is fantastic. But if Lewis was driving the Ferrari in Australia instead of Carlos, would he have qualified 2nd and won the race? If the answer is yes (I think it is), then there’s pretty much no discussion here. Lewis is a 7-time champion at age 39 being asked to drive a very peaky knife-edge Merc. He’s simply not going to have the same motivation and doggedness to drive at the absolute limit to finish 7th instead of 8th, the way George does. Lewis from 10-15 years ago, sure. But not in 2024. In a new team with a more competitive car, Lewis will be as motivated and quick as ever.
Crazy how Max his wins are in a Sainz sandwich 😂
I’ve always been a Sainz fan! - everyone suddenly
Great well presented content as ever..
Very ironic Carlos is amazing form after the announcement plus throw in an operation..
Two fingers up to ferrari..
Keep up the great work pers.
Thanks for watching and commenting my friend!
Your more than welcome.
In all these years I've been subscribed your mixed up presenting styles are worth it..
So a big thank you from me to you.
Yeah Carlos need results to get a seat.
@@Hamilton8timeChampionor Perez to cock it up badly.
Lewis brings so much more off-track than Carlos does in terms of legacy, sponsorships, brand name recognition, etc. That's why Ferrari are grabbing him
Facts.. because ferrari is always focused on brand image and marketing
Are they racing or promoting a brand?
For how many years will that be? 3-4 years, maybe? Hamilton will be 40 soon, and if Hamilton ends up slower than Leclerc, I'm not sure how long the fans will bother with Hamilton merchandise or the sponsors will care about the name recognition.
In 2023 Lewis got 3rd in the championship with a slower car than Sainz and Leclerc.
Stop making it seem like it’s all off track. If Carlos is better then he should’ve finished ahead. Even in 2022 Russell beat him and Lewis nearly beat him when Merc was far slower than Ferrari.
@@WeAreNotAIone promoting a brand. Have you seen their drivers..loaded in ferrari merch super imposing
I have the feeling that Ferrari will miss Sainz, but only in 2025 after working a while with Hamilton.
Why? Hamilton is a good team player and has chemistry with Leclerc. They really like each other and Lewis has said he sees himself in Charles. The only possible way it can get in any way spicy is if there's a title fight and there's no clear #1 if they're fighting against another team. If the Ferrari team is far enough ahead, then they can be allowed to race each other for the championship and it's not a problem.
@@dianamaioru497Hamilton is only a good team player when his team mate accepts to play the second violin, like Bottas did. He clashed both with Alonso and Rosberg (his former great friend) and his relationship with Princess Russell isn't particularly warm either. LeClerc isn't likely to be the one to play second violin (proved that with Vettel) so, it will be interesting to see how that develops. I very much like your positive approach by the way.
Glad you're feeling better 👍
No one's talking about Charles just because he's a prodigy of Ferrari...he's really struggling understanding the car...we've seen that last year and this year it could repeat again
last year? What? He got five poles and twice the amount of podiums as Carlos despite having two more DNFs (Carlos got the win tho so kudos there)
Ferrari don't regret it now, but they will in the years to come.
glad your back
Recency bias is crazy, Sainz has only performed for 4 races at a high level and now everyone acts like he is some spectacular driver. Ferrari aren't stupid, there are reasons they have kept Leclerc and not sainz, if you cant accept that fact then there isn't much else i can say, fans dont have the knowledge, the teams do.
I don't think they have regrets, but if they could've fielded 3 drivers they'd definetly be keeping Carlos. I do think Lewis could get something extra to the team, not just in commercial value, not just in racecraft and wins, but also in the way his driving style could rub off of Charles, and his knowledge and fresh view and the past 10 years at Mercedes can help in updating the set ways Ferrari are in, potentially improving in car design, car feel, car performance and setup, not to mention how the team is run.
Not saying Lewis is an expert in all these things, but a fresh perspective can really help upgrading set ways, and surely that's the hope of Ferrari for 2026, to get back to the top.
Even Ferrari doesnt expect Hamilton to win anything next year. He's just a marketing tool.
Wow…one odd win made Carlos a world champion!
I personally think Leclerc is good but it's gonna be a case of always the bridesmaid, never the bride.
Hes woken up to the reality of not having a seat ..Ferrari would be mad to pass up on a lewis hamilton. We wont see the best of LH in Mercedes 💩 box of a car this year. Hes not going to risk his life like george in that unstable error.. hes a 7 time world champion hes got nothing to prove by doing that.
While I love Carlos, we are just three races into the season so let's all calm down a little.
Thank you, rationality has entered the room.
Well said. The recency bias is crazy. Carlos has gone from "underrated" to overrated in the space of one race win.
4 races and still performing better...
The biggest move ever was Schumi to Ferrari. Michael was on his prime and was the reigning champion when he moved to the then struggling Ferrari. IMHO, I think Ferrari got Lewis a lil bit too late. It’s just for the brand and marketing.
Plenty of people have opinions one way or the other about Carlos Sainz's talent, but I will say this: if you want to belittle him, then please don't go around touting Lando Norris as a Verstappen rival because Carlos kicked his ass for two straight years in equal machinery.
I enjoy your Content and your lighting is swell, however this is quite simple if you have the opportunity to sign THE FINAL BOSS you do so end of story not much to discuss it’s simply a deal you can’t pass on. This will provide more success for the Scuderia on track and off its a no brainer you do it!
Sainz is a good driver we wish him the best, let’s knock off the silly stuff, when FB comes around you get in line
I can see Jos warning Helmut not to bring CS Senior to Max Bull.
I didn't think it was possible, but I think you might be the guy who rates Carlos Sainz even more highly than I do. Great video mate!
Carlos’ dad was also treated the same way back in his WRC days.
He just won a Dakar at 62 years young, I can only guess Carlos JR has the same mentality and will only get better with time.
Imho, I rubbish any talk that Lewis will be a regret. He knows how to drive a car and win championships.
However, there’s going to be disharmony and this is where Ferrari made a mistake. Lewis and George, Lewis and Nico, Lewis and Fernando, he clashed with anyone who could live up to him -
He has only won 2 races. In both of them he didn't have max chasing him. With this being said, I don't think he will beat Max in the same conditions.
The best characteristics of Carlos is exactly the one a team needs, he skill to consistently drive on a high level. In a sport where the car is most often the deciding factor the main thing a team needs a consistent high level driver, not the 'fastest' driver, the fastest is rarely the also the most consistent.
I think Ferrari is going to regret letting Sainz go
I was more than anything surprised at the choice Ferrari made. Honestly they had such a solid lineup with great longevity that when Ferrari announced this I just assumed it was going to stay like this for a vast majority of my 20s (I was 18 at the time Ferrari announced Sainz). Lewis is a worldie pull for Ferrari don't get me wrong, but it doesn't really have that same oomph as a Norris/Piastri lineup that I think we had in a Charles/Carlos lineup. In that sense I think if McLaren produce a championship winning car there is no doubt in my mind that Lando and Oscar would trade titles back and forth with them dominating- for Ferrari however I think it would put an 'expiration date' on that same performance window. That being said you look at Fernando (who's become the go-to example) and think, 'hey look, maybe Lewis has another 5-6 years of prime in him'. However it's safe to say he is the finished product already, whereas with the like of Lando, Oscar, Charles and even Carlos I'd say they all have much more room to grow and reach even higher. Obviously that being even more so the case with McLaren's lineup than Ferraris (not in a bad way for anyone).
But then again you could argue maybe that's exactly WHY Ferrari wanted Lewis in the first place, so it's not an easy call to make. It just wasn't a necessary call to make, and I think that's where a lot of fans get into misunderstanding each other etc.
Off topic…I’m a long time Formula 1 fan in Florida so I’m also a NASCAR and INDYCAR fan. I’ve been getting into Australian dirt track racing and I’m wondering why more of these drivers haven’t appeared in NASCAR? I’d really like your or any other Aussie’s take on it. Thanks!🍻
what about the Carlos curse? Ricciardo bombed after bumping Sainz, will Lewis suffer the same fate?
i feel Carlos at merc, he would beat George comfortably but Carlos at redbull would be another Hamilton/Rossburg.
Ricciardo got the worst as it happened to him twice in a row in Renault and McLaren. As for Carlos moving to Red Bull, it's most likely impossible since Jos and Carlos Sr. had a bad time during the Toro Rosso days and there has been no news about them mending their relationship
Vasseur is a wizard. Unleashing Sainz does nothing but good for the Scarlet Speedsters. Leclerc has his work cut out for him this time and I'm here for it...
I am Going to Cherish every C² moment this season
I’m putting this video in my “This week in «Duh»”-category.
Do you guys regret this??
Ferrari: we are thinking.
I feel so vindicated as a Carlos fan 💪💪
Bro the recency bias people have towards sainz is bizarre
I think it's mostly motivated for having been him who broke Max's absolute dominance in race wins twice. He deserved both wins of course but it was a matter of being at the right place at the right time.
"you are only as good as your last race"
@@soundscape26 Absolutely. Also the fact that he has started the 2024 season on fire. Its just frustrating that people have forgotten just how poor he has been at times.
@@jesse76th96so Perez is better than Max?
Or if you want to ignore reliability then after Baku last season Perez was better than Max?
Stroll better than Alonso now?
A lot of us have been a fan of his for a long time. He deserves a seat, and a good one at that.
Lewis to Ferrari is a mutually beneficial branding exercise regardless of performances. Hopefully the result is that Sainz is effectively promoted. Sainz at Red Bull would be perfect 👌
to me, when carlos joined ferrari, he was gonna be their next champion. i'm sad to see them get rid of him
Carlos being dumped by Ferrari is multi faceted, on one hand they´ve been chasing Hamilton for at least 5 years now. The other part is Sainz SR is overly political and has been using Santander and Estrella Galacia to exert more control over the team. This is not obvious in English media but in Spanish media the Sainz family seem far more turbulent and political with Ferrari and you how that goes.
I always said that carlos is a talent & that he will eventually beat leclerc. No one belived me, now we're here.
hopefully now though, he goes to a good team, maybe RB or even Merc, but we can always hope.
Leclerc is faster. Charles will finish higher than Carlos at the end of the season, and i'll get back to you to tell you, you were wrong.
Eventually? Is championship won by Carlos? Verstappen lost from Perez, Hamilton lost from Bottas even Schumacher or Senna lost from their teammates at SOME races. Leclerc beat a Vettel on his first year that doesnt mean that Leclerc is automatically better than a 4 times WC.
Imo Charles has the slight edge and results will show it when the car is good, just like 2022. Still I'll root for Sainz wherever he goes.
@@neverenoughgames72 he crashes a fair bit
For the love of God I hope he doesn't go to Sauber, unless Audi is going to be at least a solid top 3 team straightaway. But think that is unlikely, and him at Sauber would be a waste of an year. Hopefully Red Bull kr Mercedes sign him. I bet he would go back to McLaren if a seat was still vacant there, and I really think he will return to McLaren if Lando or Oscar go somewhere else. McLaren live him and would be happy to have him back as well.
Ferrari is about marketing. They don't have to win and with LH they are going to get years of publicity.
Even his promise to go there and "change the culture" is considered good PR now, so let them have him.
Carlos has always been class and his family pedigree shows. Lucky team out to scoop him up.
Carlos has been the most dependable part of the Ferrari Formula One team for a while now. They won't regret replacing him with Lewis. They'll regret replacing him instead of Charles if they're adamant on replacing someone at all.
I just can’t imagine Marko not dumping Checo for Carlos. Daniel is going to be out, Liam will step if for Yuki and Checo will take his place.
Have we forgotten his lackluster performances last year? Apart from Singapore.
Uh, remove Australia and Las Vegas dodgy penalties and he finishes ahead of Leclerc, so?
Sainz and verstappen line-up, would be amazing, unless they fall out big style
Taking into account sponsorships and merch sales, they will have no regrets.
Good for him he will be a huge contract somewhere now
I'm a devout Charles Leclerc fan but even I think Ferrari have made a mistake. I think Charles and Carlos have been the best lineup in F1 for the last 4 years and it's a shame to split them up. They are the closest pair on the grid and both deserve respect.
Unless Hamilton wins the drivers championship by 2026, it was an objective mistake to not re-sign Sainz.
Ferrari didn't mess up, Carlos was given manier opportunity at different teams to prove himself. The end result, he is solid, teams like Ferrari don't need solid. It's no use Carlos performing the way he currently is when he knows he has nothing to lose, why not perform from day one. I think Ferrari are making a mistake signing the Diva for 2025.
He's a smooth operator, they should've predicted an operation will only make him stronger.
Dark day if he ends up at that horrible sauber car. Hopefully RedBull or Merc at worse Aston.
Leclerc and Hamilton definitely butting heads over who’s the number 1 driver in Ferrari
Start of 2022 should have been mentioned. People wanted Bottas to replace him
Lets come back to this in a couple of months, see if we still think the same.
Not saying Carlos doesn’t deserve the credit but we shan’t forget about recency bias
Hamilton from McLaren to Mercedes was the driver move to all time. Hamilton to Ferrari will just be a couple years of blah racing with maybe a win or two.
Sainz looks like the 2nd best driver on the grid right now
He won a single race. Lets talk after he wins six
His skill and adaptability throughout multiple teams and very different cars really puts Ricciardo’s troubles in perspective. I love Danny and wanted to see him get another chance but now he’s starting to seem like nothing more than an impediment to Lawson getting in the sport. Sainz has been fast and more importantly consistent in every car he’s driven.
This is a 3 minute video at best.
hear me out here, what if sainz had a good car and a good pitwall crew. Is him leaving that clusterfuck of a team really a sad thing?
To me, Le Clerc has more raw talent but Sainz handles pressure way better.
