Sainz "wouldn’t like to start" the 2024 season without new F1 deal
Carlos Sainz, along with his teammate Charles Leclerc, has contracts expiring at the end of 2024 and both drivers could be key players in the 2025 silly season. Sainz hopes to agree to new terms at Ferrari this winter, in order to start next year without any distractions about his future. His goal is to know where he will be racing in 2025 before the start of the 2024 season. Sainz is prioritizing staying at Ferrari for many more years and is convinced that he will reach an agreement on a multi-year contract. Team boss Fred Vasseur has made Sainz feel valued, and he hopes that will be reflected in the new contract. The contract situation of both drivers is comfortable, but due to the chaotic end of the season, talks were delayed. However, Vasseur is confident that a decision will be made soon. Sainz had a successful 2023 season, with his only win coming at the Singapore Grand Prix and finishing seventh in the drivers’ championship.
