The Englishman forced the Madrid native to look for a team, since he will take his place in red as a teammate of the Monegasque Charles Leclerc and, according to what they point out from Italy, Sainz will occupy Hamilton’s seat in Mercedes as the Englishman’s partner George Russell. “I feel angry at having to leave, but on the other hand, it opens doors for me and the possibility of going to another team where I hope one day to be able to fight for that World Championship that I have been looking for at Ferrari for three or four years,” said Sainz after being third in Japan.
Also last week, the Spanish driver noted that it was “time to accelerate and resolve my future as soon as possible.” Mercedes was tempting the world champion Max Verstappenbut Red Bull’s internal problems do not seem to be enough for the Dutchman to risk leaving a winning team.
On the other hand, this Thursday the Fernando Alonso’s renewal with Aston Martin, another important value that settled many rumors. Thus, Sainz, recent champion in Australia, with 21 podiums in his record, is considered the ‘golden boy’ in Italy and this would also be seen in Mercedes.
