”That doesn’t mean I don’t have a good future ahead of me. I’ve spoken to many teams who want me a lot, and this makes me feel good as a driver and about everything that will come in the future.” “Now it’s a matter of seeing what options are available and choosing the best one.”

Carlos Sainz Reportedly Signs F1 Contract Ahead of Spanish Grand Prix
Carlos Sainz, the outgoing Ferrari driver, has reportedly signed a contract for the Formula 1 2025 season. The contract has been verified by a Madrid law firm, and an official announcement is expected before the Spanish Grand Prix later this month.
Carlos Sainz had been left without a seat for next season after Ferrari announced the signing of seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton on a multi-year deal for F1 2025. Despite his strong performance, opportunities with other top teams gradually faded over recent weeks.
It is widely believed that Sainz’s options are now between Mercedes customers Williams and the existing Sauber team (which will become Audi when the German manufacturer arrives on the grid in F1 2026). While the exact destination remains unknown, reports suggest that “everything suggests” Sainz’s future will be with Williams.
