[Saba Sports News] Prior to the start of the season, Carlos Sainz was informed that Lewis Hamilton would replace him at Ferrari. Despite not having a team seat for the following season, Sainz has received offers from several teams. Sauber F1 Team, Williams F1 Team, Alpine F1 Team, Mercedes F1 Team, and others have all expressed interest in offering Sainz a three-year contract. Surprisingly, the Spanish driver has remained calm about his future and insists on taking his time to consider the options. In response, 1997 F1 champion Jacques Villeneuve warned that Sainz’s approach could be risky and backfire. Villeneuve believes that in the waiting game, Sainz might find himself as the last resort, which is not a favorable position to be in. Delaying the decision might upset some teams, as Sainz could end up signing with a team that viewed him as their third choice due to the late timing. Fans strongly agree with Villeneuve’s perspective, suggesting that playing the waiting game is not suitable in the world of Formula 1.
