Carlos Sainz can feel "hard done by" to be overlooked by two top F1 teams
Does Carlos Sainz have a right to feel aggrieved about missꦡing out on a top F1 seat for 2025?
Karun Chandhok says168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Carlos Sainz has a right to feel “hard done by” that he has been “overlooked” by both Red Bull and Mercedes for F1 2025.
Four-time grand prix winner Sainz is vacating his Ferrari seat to make way for the incoming168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton, with the Spaniard signing a multi-year deal to join Williams after 🍬losing♑ his drive.
Despite being a free agent for several 😼months before he eventually committed to Williams, both Red B𒀰ull and Mercedes opted against securing Sainz’s services for next year.
♐Asked if Sainz has a right to feel hard done by, ex-F1 ♑driver turned Sky Sports pundit Chandhok told : “100%.
"I don’t think he is feeling hard done by leaving Ferrari because he is being replaced by Lewis Hamilton who is statistically the greatest of all-time and there was a small window of opportunity where Ferrari could get Lew🦂is. Honestly any driver would under♍stand that and say, ‘fair enough’.
“He can feel hard done by that he has been over💝looked by Mercedes and Red Bull. If I was him, I would feel hard done by and I interviewed Carlos in Brazil, and he said on camera that he was still baffled and doesn’t fully understand their decision for not taking him.”
Chandhok believes signing a driver of Sainz’s calibre is a huge coup for Williams, but warned it will take the British squad time to bꦉe competitive.
“He will offer a huge amount of experience,” Chandhok explained. “First of all, he is very fast and has come from a recently top team so he will be able to offer them benchmarks and references that perhaps they haven’t had f♍or some time. James Vowles has come from Mercedes, so he knows a lo🔴t of these things as well.
“But ultimately, Carlos can’t make the car faster. He can offer them suggestions, ideas and guidance in which way he thi🌃nks the car should i🧸mprove but drivers can’t design the cars.
“It’s down to the team🤡 to be able to do that. He knows he has signed into a project that will take three, four or even 🅷five years before they are competitive to win races.”
