Carlos Sainz gave a masterclass in Australia. And it had only been two weeks since his appendicitis surgery. Victory dominating the entire race and feeling that if the Ferrari is up to it, it can aspire to anything.
His future is unknown. He will lose his seat at Ferrari before the arrival of Lewis Hamilton. And even though he has several options on the grid, we still don’t know what his fate will be: Red Bull and Mercedes These are the two best options.
Charles Leclerchis teammate at Maranello, left an enigmatic sentence about Carlos: “I think everyone knows what Carlos is worth, and that is why I have said several times that I am not too worried about his future, because I’m sure many, many team leaders are… “He doesn’t say it, but I’m sure they talk to him.”
“I think everyone knows the value of Carlos in the paddock”» says the Monegasque, second in the world championship only behind Max Verstappen.
“He is one of the highest rated drivers in the paddock and has been extremely strong every time he was in a Formula 1 car, and he proved it many times. So I don’t think he’s underestimated because of that,” Leclerc said.
It is clear that Sainz is a great option for the top teams in Formula 1. He shows that he is a driver capable of competing with Max: He is the only driver to have beaten him in recent years. First in Singapore and now in Australia.
