Vasseur: “Sainz has an open door for Ferrari in the future”

Date:

Carlos Sainz He competed this Sunday in his final race in his only stint with Ferrari in F1 so far, looking forward to what the future holds. The Madrid native, after four years in Maranello, will be replaced by 7-time champion Lewis Hamilton, who at 39 years old, will be looking for his eighth crown wearing red and no one knows how old the Briton will be. Maranello. For this reason, Carlos himself has been repeating for months that maybe in the future the doors of Ferrari will open again for him. And now, the Team Principal of the Italians, Fred Vasseur, those doors have been cleared “no doubt they are open for Carlos.”

“In the future, the door is definitely open. We have talked about it several times. The world is very small, only 10 teams and only 6 or 7 top drivers and you never know what can happen in the world. But most of us, both Carlos on his side and I on mine, We have to focus on our project, and I don’t know what will happen in 2027, 2028 or 2029…”, Vasseur argued after the question of Roldán Rodríguez, from ‘DAZN’, at the end of the Abu Dhabi F1 GP, an appointment where Ferrari are just 14 points behind McLaren in the battle for a Constructors’ World Championship that returns to Woking 26 years later.

“Sainz has had an incredible career”

“I feel strange. On the one hand I am very happy for Carlos’s race, which has been incredible. He finished in style (he was 2nd after Norris). And Charles’s (Leclerc, from 19th to 3rd) comeback as well. But in the end we were second to the Constructors. And this is a difficult thing. There were many times when we lost by those 14 points and not today. Now we have to focus on 2025,” argued Vasseur, who regretted not achieving a comeback against McLaren.

“I’m happy with what we did. In the end we improved a lot compared to last year in all areas and that’s good because the dynamic is positive and we’re focused on 2025“he added, emphasizing the upward inertia in which they will start next year, thinking about fighting for everything with Leclerc and Hamilton and a car that should be there from the start against McLaren, Red Bull and Mercedes.

“Everything is positive. The atmosphere of the team is good, we are heading in the right direction, we are doing our job and it is good for the future. But now I am more focused on the race than the future. “We must congratulate McLaren. “They did a great job and it was a good time,” he added.
