Williams F1 star Carlos Sainz is rumored to be considering a return to Ferrari, as per reports from Italian media. Sainz had to leave Ferrari in 2025 due to Lewis Hamilton’s transfer to the team, but Hamilton’s performance has not been as expected since. Sainz has achieved podium finishes at Williams and won two Grand Prix races for Ferrari last season, bringing them close to a championship. Reports suggest Sainz might return to Ferrari in 2027, possibly replacing Hamilton whose contract ends in 2026. With Ferrari struggling in 2025, both Leclerc and Hamilton have faced challenges, but upcoming regulation changes could bring improvements for the team and its drivers.
