In 2025, Lewis Hamilton will move to Ferrari, replacing Carlos Sainz in the Italian team. At the presentation of the SF-24, the Spanish driver said he was surprised by the news about the seven-time world champion’s contract with the Scuderia, but he heard about it a few weeks before the official announcement.
Carlos Sainz: “I think this news came as a surprise to everyone in Formula 1. As for me, as you understand, I heard about this transition a little earlier than others. I had a few weeks to process this fact and prepare for the car presentation, the first launch and the first race of the season.
As I said, I have had time to absorb everything, draw conclusions and fully concentrate on the 2024 season.”
Despite the disappointment of losing his place in the team, Carlos believes that the few seasons he spent at Ferrari have made him an attractive candidate for other teams: “I consider myself lucky to have worked for Ferrari may drive. There is still one season ahead of me, after which I can say that I have been a Ferrari driver for four years. It is only good for every driver if he can say to himself that he drove for the Scuderia.
Moreover, I won races with Ferrari, started from pole position, stood on the podium and helped the team get better, take a step forward, so I have only positive impressions from playing for this team.
I can’t wait to see what the future brings, but I’m sure it will be something good.”
