[Saba Sports News] After this season, Carlos Sainz will have to leave the Ferrari team as he is being replaced by Lewis Hamilton. After confirming his departure, Sainz announced that he will join the Williams F1 team. In response, Sainz stated that he understands Ferrari’s choice but doesn’t believe that Hamilton is a better driver than himself. If you ask the other 18 F1 drivers the same question, they would give the same answer. Sainz believes that he is the best choice for all F1 teams and states that if a driver doesn’t have this confidence, they wouldn’t be an F1 driver and wouldn’t have his competitive spirit. Some fans pointed out that Sainz has obtained 162 driver points this season so far, while Hamilton has only obtained 150 driver points. Based on the results alone, Hamilton is not better than Sainz. However, Hamilton is a seven-time F1 world champion and has the advertising effect that Sainz does not possess. It is estimated that any team would agree to sign with the seven-time champion.
