[Saba Sports News] The 2024 season holds significant importance for F1
drivers as it marks the culmination of their contracts. Nearly 10 drivers will
see their contracts with their respective teams come to an end by the close of
2024. Among them is Carlos Sainz, the Spanish driver for Ferrari. During a
recent sponsor event in Madrid, Sainz shared his Christmas wish: to continue
his racing journey with Ferrari. It is evident that Sainz does not wish to
commence the 2024 season without clarity regarding his future destination. In the
2023 season, Sainz secured seventh place in the driver standings with 200
points. He achieved victory at the Singapore Grand Prix in September, becoming
the sole non-Red Bull Racing driver to claim a championship title last season.
Sainz joined Ferrari starting from the 2021 season and possesses a substantial
fan base, likely influenced by his father, two-time World Rally Champion Carlos
Sainz. Inspired by his father’s legacy, Sainz himself aspired to become a
racing driver. However, if Ferrari ultimately decides to part ways with Sainz,
the repercussions are expected to be far-reaching.
