Sainz has had a ridiculous past couple of months. First, he found out that he had lost his Ferrari drive to Lewis Hamilton for 2025, then he missed the Saudi Arabian GP thanks to appendicitis, and now he has won on his first Formula 1 race back.
Sainz is the only non-Red Bull driver to have won a GP since November 2022. He’s also proved to be a strong team-mate to Max Verstappen, Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc in his F1 career so far. It’s surely only a matter of time before he finds employment in 2025. As Alex Kalinauckas argues in his column, the Spaniard would be an asset to any team on the grid.
