"One thing is certain: I want to decide very soon because I want to get rid of thoughts about the future and focus on the rest of the season with the Ferrari”. Clear, or rather very clear, ideas on the part of Carlos Sainz on his future which, starting from next season, he will be far from Ferrari. As is well known, the Spaniard will say goodbye to the Maranello team, leaving room for Lewis Hamilton. If on the one hand, however, Ferrari already knows who Sainz's replacement will be, the Spaniard still has several doubts about his future. “This year – continued Sainz who spoke, as explained by Motorsport.com, on Antena3 – I have a car that guarantees me to be able to fight for the podium and be able to win some races. I want to be focused on this."
Sainz and the discussion on his future: "It hurts to be dumped, but a 7-time world champion arrives in Ferrari"
On the topic of relationships, in particular at Ferrari he is treated like his teammate Leclerc, Sainz has no doubts: “Yes, at all times. I can't complain in this respect. Obviously there are also moments of tension, this happens in every team, moments when you think they could have helped you more. Maybe Charles or Ferrari think I could have performed better on some occasions. This is racing, you turn the page and look forward."
Finally, returning to his future and the moment in which he was told he had to leave Ferrari at the end of this season: “Hearing that – admitted Sainz – is never good. Being dumped obviously doesn't please anyone. When I got the news I was obviously upset, but at the same time a seven-time world champion arrives and in Maranello, by force of circumstances, they had to find a place for him. In situations like this you have to take it philosophically and look forward. Without a doubt there will be other opportunities and now I just want to focus on trying to win further races: I have to try."
