Mercedes boss rules out Sainz in 2025

Carlos Sainz continues with an indefinite future in Formula 1in the same way as the Mercedes has not confirmed who will be its second driver in 2025. However, the romance between the German team and the Spanish driver seems to be increasingly far from materializing, largely due to a young man of just 17 years old.

Mercedes should bet its chips on Andrea Kimi Antonellipilot of Formula 2 who usually tests the German team's cars. Initially, the Italian does not have an F1 super license, but the FIA ​​has already received a request to withdraw the document and the tendency is for him to be the newest member of the category.

Toto Wolffhead of Mercedes, values ​​Sainz's moment, but admits that the team's focus is different. “Carlos deserves a prominent place. He did a great job. But now we're on a path where we've said, 'You know what, we want to reinvent ourselves a little more going forward,' and Kimi Antonelli is definitely part of that plan.”he said.

With the renewal of Segio Pérez at RBR and the closed team of McLarenthe tendency is for Sainz to migrate to a team that has not been having the best results in Formula 1. Despite having no signs of negotiations, James Vowleshead of Williamspoints out Spanish as a dream.

“Target number one is Carlos (Sainz). He is the driver who beat Max in Singapore last year, against all odds, with great driving and won a race, not for the first time. The way he handles things is intelligent, logical and incredibly fast. He is an impressive athlete who was able to get back on his feet, get back on track and beat his teammate in those conditions.” Vowles said.
