It has certainly not been an easy week for Carlos Sainz. The pilot of Ferrari, in fact, despite the pause of the Form 1, he has been at the center of many discussions: from the FIA case to the question marks on his future…
Week "red" fire
But let's go in order. The week opened with the decision of the FIA do not accept the appeal of Ferrari who asked for the elimination of the five-second penalty given to Carlos Sainz in Australia. The Spaniard therefore, following this sentence, he finished the Melbourne race in twelfth place in the standings which, considering the retirees, corresponds to being the last position. Nothing to do therefore for Sainz that he was still considered quite embittered faced with this choice of the Federation: “I am very disappointed that the FIA did not grant us the right to review. Two weeks later, I remain convinced that the penalty is disproportionate. At least it would have been correct to reopen the case on the basis of the new evidence that we have presented" - I had declared Spanish on his social profiles.
Sainz at Audi? Here comes his denial
The other news, always relating to Carlos Sainz, concerns his future. In the last week, there has been a rumor of a chance to see the Spanish into Audi in 2026. As we know, the German company will officially enter Formula 1 with the arrival of the new power units and, based on some rumors, the idea was to focus on Sainz as the team's first driver.
To give one however, the official denial is the Spaniard himself who, at the moment, has only and exclusively Ferrari in mind"It surprises me quite that there is talk of this in 2023 for 2026, when I don't even have a contract for 2025. It amazes me that people make this stuff up. This on the one hand makes me laugh, on the other hand it makes me angry, because in the end speculations that are invented and unverified before publication come out. My intention is to stay at Ferrari for many years."
