Christian Horner very deliberately inserted Carlos Sainz into a conversation about 2025 Red Bull driver options after Sainz’s Australian Grand Prix win. Is this move now too logical not to happen?
Outgoing Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz is being considered for Red Bull’s second Formula 1 seat in the upcoming season. Despite being let go by Ferrari in favor of Lewis Hamilton for 2025, Sainz remains unemployed for next year after being the only non-Red Bull driver to win an F1 race recently. Christian Horner hinted at Red Bull’s interest in Sainz, joking that Sainz “appears to be our nemesis”. Sainz’s strong performance and victories have caught the attention of teams like Red Bull, who are looking to field the best pairing possible. Sainz’s talent and skill have been recognized by his peers in the F1 paddock, making him a top contender for any team with a 2025 vacancy. Horner emphasized the importance of considering all options for Red Bull Racing, with Sainz emerging as a compelling choice for the team’s second seat.
