Sainz is searching for a new team after the surprising announcement before the 2024 F1 season that Lewis Hamilton would take his place at Ferrari in 2025. Many teams are interested in him after his recent impressive performances.
There’s speculation about whether Red Bull might not choose Sainz, which could lead to Lance Stroll being removed from the team. After finishing on the podium in Bahrain, Sainz missed the next race in Saudi Arabia due to appendicitis surgery.
However, he made a strong comeback at the Australian Grand Prix, winning the race with his Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc in second place.
Both Red Bull and Mercedes are considering signing Sainz after his remarkable performance. Eddie Jordan believes that if Red Bull doesn’t choose Sainz, he might join Fernando Alonso at Aston Martin, leaving Lance Stroll without a seat.
Speaking on a podcast, Jordan praised Sainz’s determination and skill, mentioning his recovery from surgery and his impressive victory in Australia. He believes Sainz could be a key player for Red Bull if they have an opening in their team. However, he also suggests that an all-Spanish Aston Martin team could be a possibility for Sainz.
David Coulthard, Jordan’s co-host, also praised Sainz’s performance, describing him as a “demon” behind the wheel. He wonders if Sainz’s success is due to his happiness in life or his determination to secure a top seat in F1.
Currently, Sainz is in fourth place in the F1 2024 Drivers’ Championship, trailing leader Verstappen by 11 points.
