Outgoing Ferrari driver 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz has admitted his F1 future will depend on what ot🐷her drivers and teams do.

Sainz is searching for a seat for 2025 after losing his to168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton, who is leaving Mercedes at the end of the year in order to join168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Charles Leclerc at Ferrari.

Hamilton’s shock switch has left a vacant seat at Mercedes, which Sainz has been linked with, though he isn’t under🌊stood to be at the top of the team’s wish-list.

With more than half the field out of contract and teams looking to firm up their line-ups foꦆr 2025 and beyond, Sainz has acknowledged that his next move maꦛy not totally be in his own hands.

“🍸Honestly, unfortunately I have no clue where I’m going to be 💛next year,” Sainz said. “It’s true that we are talking to many teams.

“I just need to keep focus on what I’m do☂ing and prove to myself and to everyone that when I’m given a fast car I am maximising what I’m given and I deliver. It has beenꦅ a strong start to the season.

“It is true that with this car you can shine a bit more. With last year’s car I did performances similar to this year but you couldn’t shine. It was a much more difficult car to drive, a lot more deg and in🍰 the races we were looking backwards.

“This ye๊ar we are looking forwards and overtaking and this allows you to shine a bit more. I’ll keep pushing.”

When asked if his future is dependent on other driver moves, Sainz replied: “I think it also depends on other people, on other teams and wha♔t they choose to go for.

“The🔜y know I’m available so let’s see what happens.”

Sainz certainly did no harm to his prospects by claiming another podium at the Japanese Grand Prix, f🌊ollowing on from his victory last time out in Australia.

“I had a good race, I knew the podium was possible if I did a perfect race,” said the Spaniard, who finished third at Suzuka.&nb💮sp;

“At times it look🌄ed a bit tricky, I didn’t understand exactly what was going on with the one stops and two stops, suddenly I thought the two stop was a lot worse but when I put the hard on at the end I was very quick, flying out there and I could get the moves done to get the podium I was really pushing for.”
