The Formula 1 off-season will be hectic with numerous team changes. Lewis Hamilton will leave Mercedes for Ferrari, which forces Carlos Sainz to change direction and join Williams. For a few days, a rumor even sent Sainz to Red Bull and the Spaniard believes that he would make a good duo with the Dutchman.
With Ferrari, Carlos Sainz will have achieved great races, notably being the only driver outside Red Bull fell Max Verstappen in 2023. But his adventure in red is coming to an end since Lewis Hamilton comes to replace it…
“I would get along well with Max”
In comments reported by Nextgen-Auto, Carlos Sainzpilot of Ferrari admits that he would get along well with Max Verstappen if he had the chance to form a duo with him: “ If my relationship with Max is the reason I didn't end up there, then I say there wouldn't have been any problems. If the decision depended solely on that, then it would simply be wrong. But I already told them that. I think I would get along well with Max. We were 16 and 19 at the time and have matured a lot since then. At Toro Rosso they put you in a team and say 'fight against each other, then whoever is best goes to Red Bull'. You don't work together for the championship, otherwise the behavior of both drivers would completely change. You can see it with Charles (Leclerc) and Lando (Norris), my last two teammates. There have never been any problems. »

” HAS Inside, a driver can look very different. As a driver you are always playing with how you are perceived from the outside. I don't mean Max isn't the way he is, advance Sainz. Lando decided to reveal a little more about himself. I don't know if I'm somewhere in between or more in one direction, but – as I said – you have to be careful with these kinds of analyses. »
