In a shocking turn of events, it was announced last week that Sir Lewis Hamilton would be leaving Mercedes after 11 years to join Ferrari for the 2024 Formula One season. This news came as a major surprise, not only to fans but also to Hamilton's current teammate, Carlos Sainz.
Sainz, who has been driving for Ferrari since 2021, will now be leaving the team at the end of the year. Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, the Spaniard remains positive and focused on the current season. He released a statement saying that he will continue to give his all for the team and their loyal supporters, also known as the Tifosi.
It was surely a bittersweet moment for Sainz, who has had a successful stint with Ferrari, including two wins, one of which was the only non-Red Bull victory of 2023 at the Singapore Grand Prix. However, he has now come to terms with the team's decision and is looking forward to his remaining races with them.
In an interview with Sky Italia, Sainz revealed that he was not disappointed by Ferrari's decision. He explained that he had known about the changes within the team and had mentally prepared himself for the news. Despite this, he remains fully committed to giving his best for Ferrari this season and hopes to end on a high note.
As for his future, Sainz remains calm and confident. He stated that he has always been a driver who strives for progress and improvement each year, and this year is no different. He firmly believes in his abilities and knows that good things will come his way. But for now, his focus is on his current team and giving his best until the very end.
With Hamilton's departure, there is now a vacant spot at Mercedes, and Sainz is among the top contenders to replace him. However, he faces tough competition from the likes of Alex Albon and young sensation Andrea Kimi Antonelli. But Sainz is not one to back down from a challenge, and he is determined to continue making progress in his career.
At the age of 29, Sainz still has a long way to go in his Formula One journey. He stated that he feels younger and more motivated than ever, and his philosophy of always striving for progress will remain the same. He is confident in his abilities as a driver and knows that good things will come his way in the future. But for now, his main goal is to give his best for Ferrari and their loyal fans.
