A replacement has been tipped if Ferrari and Carlos Sainz cannot agree terms on a new contract.
There is speculation that Alex Albon could be a target for Ferrari if they are unable to secure contract extensions for their current drivers, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz. Leclerc’s talks are said to be the team’s top priority, followed by Sainz’s. Albon, who currently drives for Williams, is highly rated and has attracted interest from other teams in the past. He is reportedly keen to leave his current team and explore other opportunities. However, if Ferrari successfully extend the contracts of Leclerc and Sainz, Albon may need to consider other options. Williams, under new team boss James Vowles, is expected to be more competitive this year after focusing on development for 2024.
