It appears to be a tug-of-war between two teams, in particular, for Sainz’s signature.
McLaren team principal Andrea Stella believes that Carlos Sainz should be signed by one of its F1 rivals due to his strong attributes and experience. Sainz has previously worked closely with Stella during his two-year stint with McLaren before moving to Ferrari. Despite his departure from Ferrari to make room for Lewis Hamilton, Sainz’s options for a top team have dwindled, with Red Bull opting to retain Sergio Perez and Mercedes focusing on junior driver Kimi Andrea Antonelli. Sainz finds himself in a competitive situation between Audi and Williams, with Enstone’s Alpine team also in the mix as a dark-horse candidate. Stella praised Sainz’s rational approach to racing, highlighting his ability to strategize and communicate effectively, making him a valuable asset for any team looking for development and success on the track.
