Carlos Sainz He continues to be in the media focus of Formula 1. The Spanish driver has not reached any agreement with any team to continue competing in 2025. It is not that he lacks offers, far from it. Alpine, Williams and Audi They have actively and passively said that they are very interested in him. However, the Madrid native wants to fight for the title and these options, in the short term, do not offer that possibility a priori. Because of that, David Coulthard, former Formula 1 driver He proposes an even crazier idea: stay as a Ferrari test driver.
According to the former McLaren and Red Bull driver, Lewis Hamilton will not stay at Maranello for three years and therefore if he wants to have another chance to fight for important things, Sainz should stay for two years as a reserve driver for Italians. .
“Williams has confirmed his interest in having him in the team, Audi wants him with Nico Hulkenberg, but in reality I think it’s better for Carlos to say to Ferrari: ‘I will be your reserve driver for the next two years, because I think that Lewis will not have a third year‘” Coulthard explained on the Formula For Success Podcast, hosted by Eddie Jordan.
“Carlos will have two years to stay fit, take a little break from F1 and then, At 32, he could get behind a car built with Lewis and Charles’ He could win the title. Can he win the Alpine title in the next three years? Can he win it with Williams in the next three years? Can you make it to Audi in the next three years? “I have to say no,” he said.
Ahead of the British GP, Sainz already said he wants to resolve his future sooner rather than later in order to focus on what happens on the track. So it won’t be long before speculation like Coulthard’s gives way to officialdom.
