Sainz’s Future with McLaren Open
Potential Reunion with Carlos Sainz
Zak Brown, the CEO of McLaren Racing, has stated that Carlos Sainz could be considered for a future return if the current driver lineup changes. Sainz, who previously raced for McLaren in the 2019 and 2020 seasons, built a successful partnership with Lando Norris before moving to Ferrari.
Sainz’s Transition to Williams
Currently, Sainz has joined Williams with a long-term contract, marking a new chapter in his career as the team seeks to become competitive again. He has expressed excitement about the opportunity to help Williams grow, recalling his childhood dreams of being part of this iconic team.
Brown’s Admiration for Sainz
Brown commended Sainz’s work ethic and performances during his time at McLaren, highlighting that the team remains supportive of him. “If we had an open seat, of course, we would consider Carlos,” Brown remarked, indicating their ongoing connection and respect for Sainz’s abilities.
Ferrari’s Complex Decision
The decision by Ferrari to retain Lewis Hamilton alongside Charles Leclerc, rather than keeping Sainz, has been noted by Brown, who recognized the skill and professionalism Sainz exhibited while with McLaren.
Conclusion
Should McLaren’s driver situation evolve in the future, Sainz could find himself back in the running for a seat. Meanwhile, his focus lies on revitalizing Williams and achieving success on the podium, underscoring his commitment to the sport.
