Carlos Sainz’s F1 2025 Options From Worst To Best
Carlos Sainz, known for his demanding nature on the track, has found himself in a pivotal position following his spectacular victory at the Australian Grand Prix. As the 2025 season approaches, Sainz faces a limited number of options for his next career move.
1. Red Bull Racing
Red Bull Racing is undoubtedly an attractive option. The team has a history of success, and their car performance has been consistently strong. However, there are some “ifs” and “buts.” Red Bull’s intense rivalry with Mercedes means that Sainz would be under immense pressure to perform. Additionally, the team’s preference for nurturing young talent might impact his chances.
2. Mercedes
Mercedes, the dominant force in recent years, is another alluring choice. Sainz would have the opportunity to drive a championship-winning car. However, with Lewis Hamilton’s departure, the team dynamics could change. Sainz would need to prove himself against a strong teammate (likely George Russell) and handle the pressure of being in a top-tier team.
3. Audi (formerly Sauber)
Audi, which will be known as Sauber until 2026, has expressed interest in Sainz. While the team lacks recent success, Sainz’s father, Carlos Sainz Sr., believes Audi’s potential is a “guarantee.” However, their ability to achieve success remains uncertain. The team had a lackluster 2024 season under the Alfa Romeo banner, but recent changes in leadership might improve their prospects.
