At Sauber, they are still hopeful for a deal with Carlos Sainz. The Spaniard has been on their radar for quite some time, but an official contract is yet to be signed. Team boss Alessandro Alunni Bravi consistently praises Sainz, who is playing a waiting game in the driver’s market. With Hamilton moving to Ferrari in 2025, Sainz is on the lookout for a new team.
Bravi’s Praise for Sainz
During the race weekend in Miami, Bravi scrutinized Sainz’s qualities. “Everyone knows that there is one top driver on the market, and that is Carlos Sainz,” said the Sauber boss. “All teams would want him on board. He is one of the best drivers – Sainz is extremely mature, can develop a car well, and always drives very consistently.”
Sauber’s Intentions with Sainz
It is widely known that Sauber, which will start as Audi from 2026, wants to sign Sainz. However, despite various rumors about negotiations and ultimatums, there is still no contract. “We know that the market is not determined by us,” Bravi continued. “There are multiple teams talking to multiple drivers. So, there are also multiple options for us.” Nico Hülkenberg is already confirmed for 2025 and beyond. “Now that we have Nico, there is no rush to make a choice,” concluded the Italian. “This is just the beginning.”
