Lewis Hamilton’s successor at Mercedes should be Carlos Sainz.
There should be a roster of drivers between Ferrari and Mercedes. Lewis Hamilton, who will transfer from Mercedes to Ferrari after the season, should be replaced in the German team by current Scuderia pilot Carlos Sainz.
It follows from the information that the leading Italian newspapers Corriere Dello Sport and La Gazzetta dello Sport came up with today.
According to the Italian media, Mercedes boss Toto Wolff chose Sainz also because of his performances this year. In this context, let us recall that the Spaniard always finished on the podium in every race he entered in 2024: he was third in Bahrain, he won in Australia, and most recently he finished third again in Japan.
According to speculation, Mercedes should sign a contract with the native of Madrid, who is the winner of three F1 grand prizes, for one season with a one-year option.
Everything indicates that Mercedes will not finally get Max Verstappen, whose unexpected departure from Red Bull was also discussed.
