Carlos Sainz is considering proposals for the 2025 Formula 1 season. The negotiations around possible changes have taught him to be skeptical and not trust everything he hears. Sainz has been analyzing his options since Ferrari announced the signing of Lewis Hamilton for the next season. He has received proposals from Sauber, which will become Audi, Williams, and Alpine. Reflecting on the decision-making process, Sainz has realized the political nature of the sport and the need to be cautious when dealing with people in the paddock. He has gained a better understanding of Formula 1 and the positions of the teams he could join. Sainz admitted that it has been challenging to separate short-term performance on the track from long-term prospects when evaluating his options. Instead, he is focusing on the project and the overall feeling he has from each team. Sainz acknowledged that it is not the right time to make an announcement due to the busy schedule and the need to carefully consider his future.
