F1 driver market rumour: Aston Martin and McLaren looking at Carlos Sainz for potential 2025 move. Aston Martin and McLaren are interested in Carlos Sainz for potential 2025 F1 move.

In recent hours, there has been talk again about Carlos Sainz’s future. The Ferrari driver, who is likely to renew with the Maranello team, has already been linked to the Aston Martin team in case of a divorce. According to the latest rumors, the Lawrence Stroll-led team aims to have a completely Spanish lineup, pairing Carlos Sainz with the already-present Fernando Alonso.

If the move to Aston Martin doesn’t materialize, there is another possibility for the Spanish driver: a “return to the past.” McLaren is already considering options in case their lead driver, Lando Norris, decides to seek new horizons. Here are all the details.

Carlos Sainz’s Future

These rumors about Carlos Sainz come from Spain, and according to some sources, the Aston Martin team would like to have an experienced and analytical driver like Carlos Sainz. He would potentially replace the team owner’s son, Lance Stroll, who hasn’t lived up to the two-time world champion Fernando Alonso this year.

However, looking at McLaren, there have been talks all year about a possible interest from Red Bull in Lando Norris, although the British driver has pledged loyalty to the team led by Andrea Stella. Nevertheless, in case Lando Norris decides to leave and change teams in 2025, McLaren cannot afford to be unprepared. For this reason, they have turned their attention back to the profile of the former McLaren and current Ferrari driver. As we write this article, these are just paddock rumors, and the renewal with Ferrari seems highly likely at this stage, much like Charles Leclerc’s.

However, Formula 1 moves quickly, and all teams must be prepared for any eventuality. We will see how the situation evolves in the future.
