Who will Carlos Sainz drive for in 2025?

He's the only F1 driver to win a race other than Max Verstappen in over 300 days but Carlos Sainz still doesn't have a drive for 2025. Matt and Tommy discuss where the Spaniard will go next season and how likely it is he'll join each team.

This is a business and all the drivers know this. I think Sainz is a good driver, a little above average for an F1 driver but pretty close to average. The statistics don't lie!

[@SaketBakshi]

I don't understand why there seems to be an assumption that Audi is going to be decent in 2026. Frankly, it seems like nothing is known except for the fact that it'll be a combined works team with an in-house engine. Will that engine be any good? Does the rest of the project show any promise? I think that no one really knows. And Carlos can't just put his all his eggs in an unclear basket - especially after proving how valuable his eggs really are.

[@fallenshallrise]

Nothing against them but Audi is giving me major Toyota vibes. All the top brains (and most of the top drivers) in F1 are locked up with other teams so unless they have some genius aerodynamic people from WEC that can outdesign the best in F1 there is going to be a long learning curve.

[@u2zero2u]

No disrespect, I like Sainz as well but he is a little above average if not just an average F1 driver. Before anyone gets upset, I mean that I think he is about the 7th or 8th best driver on the grid. In my opinion, Max, Hamilton, Leclerc, lando, Russell and Alonso are better than Sainz making him a little above average which is still great. I think Sainz and Gasly are about equal skill wise. I wouldn't be surprised to see Sainz and Bearman at HAAS next year unless their is a contract that won't allow this to happen. Nevertheless, I would LOVE to see Sainz win the championship this year. Hopefully Ferrari can make some improvements quickly to allow them to challenge Red Bull but I'm not holding my breath on that one. Have a good day everyone.

[@chrisc475]

Thanks, I couldn't agree more. 2036 is going to shake things up considerably. Yes, Audi have money, and experience, but there's a limit to what they can spend with the cost and capex caps. If we were compare to Aston, who are similar imo as it was a struggling team (Force India) bought by a rich backer with big ambitions, Aston are (i) several years ahead on the investment front, (ii) have a proven winning engine manufacturer joining as works partner and (iii) already have poached a load of top engineers to work in their UK based operation that makes further recruitment much easier than it's going to be for a team in Switzerland.

[@RoeShamBoe]

they aren't going to be on the grid in 2026. there will be an announcement halfway through 2025 that Audi will not enter F1 and it will be because looked around and said wait a minute it's going to cost how much every year to run this thing? and we're just gonna run around at the back for any realistically foreseeable future?? why are we doing this again???? and poof they're going to Keyser Soze everybody

[@AzureKite]

I think the right move is Sainz to Red Bull, Alonso to Mercedes. But it'll probably be the other way around. Either way, silly season is going to go hard this year.

[@DenDave_]

I'd love to see him at RedBull personally, feels like a nice story coming full circle. But Mercedes probably makes the most sense.

[@samueldorrington8990]

What I love about this is that Carlos keeps being this perfect yard stick to judge other drivers. So yeh put him next to GR or MV and we get to compare them to CL and LN 😊

[@tttimok]

I think Red Bull is the most likely. Red Bull need a driver more competitive than Perez to be there to get the win when max isn’t. Checo should have got a podium at least last weekend when max DNF’d. Sainz would be there to pick up the points consistently and help Red Bull stay ahead even if the other teams close the gap.

[@Leon-jx8wc]

Imo it's not very likely. Verstappen sr. and Sainz sr. do not get along very well and I doubt redbull would want a driver to challenge Max. Also don't see a reason to let Perez go

[@markeschen]

@@Leon-jx8wc Yup. There was too much drama between the old men last time they were both on the same team.

[@leesamiller8190]

@tttimok I agree completely also because the stakes are raised next year. Red Bull will be competing against a Lewis/Charles team and a Lando/Oscar team. I’d be really surprised if Christian/Helmut aren’t looking at Melbourne results and thinking Carlos would be a better driver for them for next years rivalry? Checo has done them proud but next year, not so sure he can keep up, he may even let them down this year.

[@albr4]

if they were going to get rid of checo they would've done it already, especially after supposedly crashing in monaco quali on purpose.

[@LeJimster]

Checo will stay another year, I expect Lawson to have his proper debut at RB he will impress and get called up to replace Checo in 2026.

[@StartPlayFinish]

I think a lot of teams will use 2025 as a "get to know the team" kind of year before the regulation changes in 2026. Its perfect to put a new guy in the seat in 2025 so that they can get used to the team, how they work and get all the kinks out so you don't have to deal with that in 2026 on top of a new car as well.

[@janiefk]

Carlos is so charismatic. He gets underrated. Glad to see him getting more widely recognized recently.

[@mennoberga4133]

One thing we should take into account is that there maybe just weren't that many exciting prospects for RB's Checo seat last year. Like, maybe there was an option there with Yuki, and getting Lawson in there, but Checo ended up doing well enough that it really wasn't worth the stir. Carlos, however, is probably the best free agent since... I don't even know. RB is crazy if they don't jump at the chance imo.

[@mennoberga4133]

My predicted changes if things keep going how they're going: Checo is out, replaced by Carlos. Lewis obviously goes to Ferrari, but his seat ar Merc is filled by - wildcard! - Alex Albon. Antonelli will take the Russell route, trying out at Williams before Merc tries to move him up. Sargeant miiight be out - Williams would then take someone like Checo (if he's eager to stay in F1), to balance out Antonelli's inexperience. Final change is at the Racing Bulls, at this rate it's unreasonable to leave Danny Ric in the seat when you've got Lawson waiting in the wings.

[@yashbabal7950]

I think that red bull is going to approach sainz as perez is not securing those points when max isnt dominating the race. So it seems like a valid option that red bull would want to get a reliable driver who could show up when max is off weather (which is highly unlikely) and can also challenge max frequently.

[@eugenecia9424]

Always have to worry about people who say that the car is developed around the driver. They develop a car that is as fast as possible in both corners and straights. During the race everyone uses their own setup.

[@nttsight1564]

I could see Sainz spending a year or two at Mercedes before going to Audi when Antonelli comes up. That way he gets a decent team until the new regs and Mercedes get someone who could move on when needed.

I could see Mercedes wanting Alonso for that time period. Sainz to Aston seems like the better landing spot if he doesn’t got to Red Bull. Forget Sauber that’s a dumpster fire.

I see Carlos driving the RB21 for '25, either filling in for Checo or the departed Max. But I lean more towards the possibility of Checo not getting a renewal, since for Max to depart from RBR will rely heavily on the escalation of the RBR higher-ups' internal conflict.

[@fallenshallrise]

On a side note maybe we shouldn't be hyping up the 2026 regulations. The power unit development will still be limited, the fuel allowance is going down and the electrical system is the same configuration for everyone so aerodynamics will still be of primary importance meaning that the chance of Audi for example coming in with an overpowered engine and out drag racing the field is basically 0. There is also very little chance that Ferrari and Red Bull and Mercedes are all going to get the aero concept wrong while simultaneously Williams or Haas are going to come up with an exploit that has them winning races.

[@-._.-._.-Sully-._.-._.-]

The 2026 regs, especially from the PU side, are going to absolutely ruin F1 and no one is talking about it. Probably because most F1 fans and commentators don’t understand the engineering side in the slightest therefore are blind to the blatant issues that are bound to arise.

[@fallenshallrise]

@@-._.-._.-Sully-._.-._.- I agree. When you read through the regs, which I recommend everyone do, it's basically less fuel (70 kg instead of 100 kg), less energy recovery and the same battery capacity with no ability to develop the motor or battery technology at all. The electric motor is much bigger at 350 KW so that the media can say "1,000 HP" but that amount of power is only available for a maximum of 10s per lap. 90% of the race they will have 450-500 HP available at most. Lower power cars could be fun (if they were smaller and lighter) but not with $100 M of aerodynamics on them.

[@-._.-._.-Sully-._.-._.-]

@@fallenshallrise yeah most people just listen to the bullet points F1 puts out to make the regs not sound as bad as they are.
