F1 Sainz – Mercedes
According to Spanish daily sports newspaper based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Diario Sport, Carlos Sainz is about to finalize the last details with Mercedes for the 2025 Formula 1 season. Despite the many rumors that have circulated in recent weeks regarding a supposed negotiation with Red Bull and Audi, with the latter positioning the current Ferrari driver for a year at Sauber, the Spanish driver would have reached a preliminary agreement with Mercedes boss Toto Wolff for the immediate future, effectively materializing the much-discussed “switch” with Lewis Hamilton, who will join the Maranello team in 2025.

The winner of the last Australian Grand Prix, despite the courtship of a giant like Audi – ready to enter Formula 1 from the 2026 season – would have chosen the stability of Mercedes, a team eager to return to the top after the fluctuating performances of the last two seasons.

An ambitious project that aims to provide him a solid foundation not only for 2025 but also for 2026, the year when the new technical regulations for aerodynamics and power units will come into force.
