Thank you for watching, hopefully you enjoyed it and if you did then don’t forget to comment drop a like and subscribe to the channel for more. Il see you in the next one, Aldas.
The only part of the video I don't agree with is "Fernando Alonso is not going to be in Formula 1 forever."
True
yea, hes still a rookie
This guy has been on every team on crisis and once he arrived things moved forward,he is not the fastest but he is so much underrated that it is mind boggling
For me the most underrated in a long time. This year will be the year where he drops his usual teamplayer nature and will drive for himselkf. and this, i believe, will show the world the true weakness of leclerc. i think Charles will crumble under the pressure sainz will put him under. especially since Charles will oputqualify sainz most of the time but still finish behind him in races...it will be uite telling. IMO leclerc is a one lap pony. Like vettel he needs the absolute best car to win a championship
@@pedrozapata7008i do believe it will be a close battle between sainz and leclerc, but i do think who comes out on top ultimately comes down to who the car suits best. It is clear they prefer vastly different cars, as seen last year, where the car suited Sainz much more right after the summer break, but then towards the end of the season, as the car suited Leclerc much more, he began performing better, and sainz fell off a bit pace-wise.
@@johannestryggestad1042 I totally agree with you. I did not consider the fact that Ferrari will 100% build the car around Leclerc now. But TBF that's what they were already doing anyways and Carlos has shown that he is quite flexible and his driving style is, to an extent, very adaptable to different styles of driving platform. Still I think he will display a grit and tenacity that we haven't seen in him before and many of us formula 1 fans doubted he had in him, maybe even himself. But he's as confident as he has ever been, he's got his bigges point to prove yet and at the same time really doesn't have as much to loose reputation wise as his teammate. It's gonna be a fun year at Ferrari.
@@pedrozapata7008 or a nerve wracking one, depending on if you are a Ferrari fan or not 😬😬
And he undoubtedly lifts the morale of every team he's at
Carlos Sainz remembers me a lot to Nico Rosberg. Even though both aren’t the fastest drivers of their generation, they are very solid and hard workers. I’m sure that sooner or later Sainz will find out a project that can bring him the opportunity to evolve as a driver at the same time that he’s the leader the team.
His move to Ferrari itself was a wrong choice imo cos he never got an equal deal as Leclerc. I had commented back then that this would be turn out to be a bad decision cos Ferrari would never treat him equal to Leclerc and once he leaves Ferrari, finding another drive in a competitive team will be difficult. His only chance at the time is to get that vacant merc seat. RB is not happening. McLaren has a good team now. Only remaining seat would be AM if Alonso retires.
@@Whatreally123he could join AM in the case Stroll gets sacked but that won't happen anytime soon
@@kaiserberserk3622The only person who decides whether Lance has a drive is Lance himself
Nah, Sainz simply doesn‘t have the raw speed and talent to ever compete for a world championship. Comparing Sainz to Rosberg is quite disrespectful imo. Rosberg was way more talented and consistent than Sainz ever will be.
Sainz is like Perez. He can consistently beat the midfield but he will never be able to keep up with a genius.
Sainz can’t rely on Audi. He needs to pounce on the Perez seat or the vacant Merc seat now.
Pounce Perez and Danny
Yeah but wouldn’t it be cool to see him head a new coming team with so much potential for domination? Audi has the entire VW group R&D team behind, long story short, that means they have the Porsche engineers that get promotions to now go work for F1, that’s scary on its own. Imagine a young promising pilot like Sainz heading an F1 time like Audi after 2-4 years of them adjusting to the F1 world, he’d be almost like the second coming of verstappen with his Red Bull car
@luisaguilar7997 Sainz is older than you probably think, he can't be banking on "well maybe Audi is gonna be good so I'll go there" there are no signs or evidence that that will be the case. He needs a top team now.
@@danonthestrings I mean there is the fact that he can’t just idly wait a year, he’s in the prime of his age as a driver that’s true, but it would be wonderful to see him jump to Audi, they dominate everywhere they go, and VW group is like Midas at this point tbh
@@danonthestrings yeah but does sainz want to be second driver on top team ? this season he showed he is not second driver he want to become main driver joining redbull and mercedes mean he will become their second driver not main driver.
Carlos is like Alonso in the sense that fans will get much better races if he's in a fast car. I hope his career isn't wasted by this move, he deserves to be in a top team. I'd love to see him alongside Nando.
They already did that.
You're acting like he's an exciting driver
Huh? He's literally spent 2 years in a fast car and other than Singapore, name one exciting race of his.
@@mrgalaxy396 Monza 2023 if you want just one
@@Czeslaw_cn4tv and that was Leclerc attacking him, because Leclerc is the one with the exciting style so, try again, Sainz is as dull as anything in personality and driving style and ability
Seeing what happened with Honda when they decided to join f1 back in 2015 I wouldn't be suprised if the Audi project flops espescially during first years of competition. Hope vw keeps up with the funding. Joining Audi is a big risk for Carlos.
That’s such a good point with Honda. Even if you compare it to when Mercedes joined in 2010, they realized the magnitude of the project so much so, that they had to go back to the Mercedes Board of Directors to ask for more funding and backing for the project. Audi is on shaky ground as it is with just joining F1, so its an unknown if they would ever provide that extra boost of funding after the fact
Keep in mind Honda was brought in early by McLaren against their wishes, they were set up to fail initially in hindsight.
And people think Andretti is going to make it 😂😂😂
@@bzilla1090Yeah yeah let's not give any new team a chance and let's keep the same 10 teams for an eternity I guess 🙄
If Alpine (Renault) a literal constructor is failing after years of experience and having championships under their belt I can’t see how Audi can do any worse? Especially when partnered up with Sauber. I’m sure they have already poached a lot of engineers and aerodynamicist from the top teams.
People can say “he’s not the fastest driver” all they want, but he regularly outscores Leclerc on merit.
If Ferrari starts challenging Max before the middle of the season I can 100% see Sainz to Redbull. Sainz has already shown that he can handle being beaten and pick himself back up quickly and get better.
Carlos is so unfortunately underrated, he's consistent, talented, and I was so excited to see him go to Ferrari. He's perfect for Ferrari and I'm sad to see him go. Hopefully the guy finally gets the seat he deserves.
With the amount of people calling him underrated, i don't think he's underrated anymore
i think sainz should go aston if alonso goes merc cuz i mean aston martin have been collecting the right people, they just need the right direction now
I don’t think Alonso is going to Merc, as awesome as I think that would be.
Mercedes hiring Alonso will be exactly as bad a decision as Ferrari hiring Lewis. Very short term plan with minimal returns.
@Whatreally123 Lewis provides unique marketing opportunities. Ferrari will make their money back.
@@EMichaelBall Ferrari makes money anyway. And if current Ferrari management is worried about making money in the short term as you say instead of focusing on building a consistent team to try and win championships, then it's just pathetic. They haven't won since 2008 and since then have never had a long term consistent team. They came close in 2017/18 and imo could've gone on to do well but they sacked Arrivabene. Ferrari since 2098 have become a team of spoilt brats who want everything to come to them quickly and if that doesn't happen in a few years, they'll either change the drivers or Team Principals or engineers.
People been saying that about AM for like 4 years now and there's nothing to show for it. I'm fact based on the small sample size of one race they've gone backwards from last season
All I’m saying is, Audi every time they’ve joined a racing series dominated out the gate. At one point they were so good they got banned.
Not sure how the rules work, but it's possible they are not in the cost cap right now, developing their car with huge funds where as everyone else is developing their car under the cost cap. VAG has always basically won by outspending the competition by orders of magnitude, completely dominating that series until people stop watching it out of boredom, then they leave. I hate VAG in motorsports.
@@johnnycab8986they can’t work on the new areo, but all manufacturers are currently working on the new power units.
Audi have an amazing record in other series yes, but I'm looking at who's currently running the team at Sauber and they don't exactly instill me with much confidence...
Would love to see Sainz go for the title, especially if it's up against a superstar teammate so that the WDC feels even more special.
Everyone seems to think Audi will be at the top when they join because they’re a manufacturer and they’re Audi. But look at Alpine they’re a manufacturer and is loosing to HAAS! Ferrari hasn’t won a championship since 2008! McLaren hasn’t won a championship since 2008! And Mercedes now know how the rest of us felt when they were dominating. This just shows that the name can only do so much. So to think Audi will be a top team is EXTREAMLY optimistic.
My feel is it's gonna be Toyota 2.0
Dont forget that Mercedes also were new at some point and werent great from the start
That's because Renault is cheap and they don't want to put the balls on the table. They say they are, but their actions speak for themselves.
Audi wins EVERYWHERE where it entered as works team! WRC, TransAm, IMSA GTO, mutiple DTM championships, 8 national super touring car championships in just one Season, 13 Le Mans wins in just 17 starts, serveral other 24 hour race wins, multiple GT3 championships and recently the Rally Dakar. So don't compare them with Alpine or Toyota! Compare them with Mercedes after they took over Brawn GP or Red Bull after they took over Jaguar.
Yeah Renault is a bad example. Audi won’t be winning championships but they will likely be in the mid field.
Carlos needs to go to Red Bull or Mercedes. It would be karma if he went to Mercedes in 2025 and immediately won a title.
Mercedes won’t be competing for a title next year
It would be AWESOME! Karma at it best. Yet even Toto is looking further into 2026 (if he’s still around).
I said this when he signed for Ferrari that he risked his career by joining Ferrari. He got a contract which was less tenure than Leclerc's existing contract at the time which meant he would never be treated equally. Ferrari screwed Seb, a 4 time champ so Carlos stood no chance. That was a shit deal and he should've continued at McLaren.
How did Ferrari screw Vettel? Other than being the reason they hired him, what did his four WDCs mean to them? They gave him some good cars, he couldn't get it done and then lost motivation, same as he had in 2014. They had their run and chances together.
Mark my words Sainz will compete in the Dakar 2040
Which Sainz tho, or both?
@@Aldas001 the sisters
@@Olifantenstaart😂😂😂
Carlos Sainz should go to Mercedes its a no brainer
And be George’s wingman, nah. He’d be better at Red Bull. Because Merc are probably sorted for the next decade if things go the way they seem to be. But there’s always the possibility of the second Red Bull seat being available.
Toto prefers Antonelli and Ocon💀
Max to Merc seems on the cards if Redbull refuses to sack Horner which seems like the case. Carlos and Alonso at Redbull would be great.
max to merc and vettel to red bull :)
@@braveheart4603 don't believe the bs
I am so sad about the Hamilton to Ferrari move. Sainz should have kept the seat.
Ferrari is where old elephants go to die.
oh don't be sad for someone else, live you life buddy and stop caring about others
Ferrari is the best Pension plan in F1. Kimi taught the elders that…
@@900108Chale while they make millions you're here crying about it 🤣
Couldn't agree more with your thoughts and conclusions. Carlos' fan here.
Yo hear me out, Max to Mercedes and Carlos to Red bull
why would max go to a losing team? Max has incredible support at RB. Carlos also has ties to RB so I could see him replacing Perez if Perez keeps underperforming.
@@JohnDoe-gn3rg im just saying bro, and because the conversation between josh vertappen with toto on the last race. Right now eveything is possible for mext season. But i agree its a long shot

@@JohnDoe-gn3rg Because the Red Bull ship is sinking
@@ananastudio lmao how? The car is a rocket ship this year as well.
as a red bull fan I would love to see Sainz next to Verstappen, I definitely think he would give max at least some level of competition!
Aldas has convinced me for sainz's aston move and also his voice is soothing😮💨
I think carlos to redbull would be a perfect driver lineup next to verstappen . max for his speed and carlos for his analytical and strategic way of racing .
You put sainz and respectful in the same sentence that says everything
Subscribed after watching this, keep up the great content mate!
Thank you appreciate it :)
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍
i think he has to stay in a top team during 3 or four years like rb, mer , aston and then go to audi and be number one driver.
The day I see a car with an Audi logo on the starting grid is the day I will actually believe Audi is in Formula One
Great Video mate, can I request a video on the Alpine situation? Loving all the new content, keep it up. much love man. 🙏
Max leaves RB and Alonso slots in his seat, hmmm, as a big fan of Fernando I still find it hard to imagine that happening as Marko isn't very fond of him. Even if that happens, RB develops their car around Alonso's driving style? Just for a year or two? Hmmm... Unless RB keeps true to their car philosophy and expects Alonso to adapt then maybe.
Honestly I think RedBull should’ve signed Sainz for 2025 as soon as Lewis to Ferrari was confirmed
100% correct take, tho it's true that maybe Audi can also be a medium step to replace Alonso later, either Aston or RB
I think people forget Sainz is not some new and young prospect. He's been in F1 since 2015 which doesn't feel like that long ago until you realize this will be his 10th season in F1. He's a veteran at this point. Drivers like Alonso have skewered the picture and people have forgotten that the average F1 career is only 10-15 years long with most drivers not driving past 35, especially non-champions. This is his last chance realistically for a top seat. His options are Russell's wingman, the midfield AMR-Honda if Alonso retires this year or the risky Audi-Sauber which could be anywhere in 2026 onwards. Everything else is either booked or basically hanging up the boots on your F1 career. Point is, he doesn't have the luxury of throwing his career away, he's totally dependent on external circumstances now. I don't see Mercedes going for him, they either need a wingman for Russell or a new young prospect (maybe a bit early for Antonelli) to nurture as the future of Mercedes if they don't have faith in Russell. Maybe he lucks in as a stop gap which is ironically exactly what he was for Ferrari. May as well try to be the main man at a works project if the Mercedes seat doesn't work out.
Sainz is a better racer than Leclerc. There I said it. Leclerc is faster on one lap, but he's not as smart a racer.
That is what I think will happen next year. Leclerc will out qualify Lewis regularly but Lewis will beat him in the races.
I think Sainz already knows where he is going for 2025 and its Audi. The motorsport division is one of the worlds best and history has shown no matter the series they hit the ground running very fast and they have had quite a long run up to get things developed. I think we have already seen their influence in Sauber as its ownership increases year on year and it will be interesting to watch them this season as upgrades happen which will be influenced by Audi.
My issue with Carlos Sainz to the Red Bull is that the car doesn't suit him, although I do believe he would be able to set it up well it would still be sub optimal. And as you mentioned he isn't a front runner for the Mercedes seat either. I think Aston Martin is the more realistic option.
But he's more adaptable than other drivers
Great video Aldas, but I think it's possible that Yuki is the favourite for the AM seat after Alonso due to his Honda links, and how much we know Honda wants to have a Japanese driver in their team
Good point. I totally forgot about that AM will be partnered with Honda.
@@furionese yeah and their desire for Japanese drivers in their team has been going on for decades. Eddie Jordan spoke about how he was forced to release Heinz Harold Frentzen for Sato back in the early 2000s
Honda is pathetic for wanting these mediocre Japanese drivers like Taunoda into their team.
100% people forgetting this and it's obvious Yuki will never make it to Red Bull. Time for him to make a move like Gasley
A line up of Tsunoda and Stroll isn't going to do much in F1. If I were a Honda exec I would despair.
Sainz doesn't really have many options. He can either be second driver at Red Bull and Mercedes or risk it all by moving to Stake and wait for Audi to arrive. I don't really see many other good options, other than maybe Aston but that team is kinda all over the place.
Yeah, the idea of him dethroning George at Merc is incredibly unlikely. When it comes to racing, George can be more ruthless than Charles etc.
@gameofender4463 so ruthless that he got his ass kicked by Hamilton over and over again...
@@Drakewyrm He did better than Lewis in 2022. And when you take away his mechanical DNFs and mistakes he would’ve had more points than Lewis.
Agreed. Aston... SIGN HIM UP!
Audi are already at risk, some of them don’t even want to join the grid
Audi could be like Toyota or Brawn. Who knows? You can’t be sure going to Audi is definitely a mistake.
Carlos to aston isn't even something I thought about but damn it makes sense
Get well soon Carlos
I wish Ferrari didn't kick Sainz out. Leclerc was comfortably ahead of Sainz in pace throughout their years together, but DID have more bad luck, so he was a sure-fire number 2 (or 1.5 if you really want to), while Hamilton will either be fighting Leclerc throughout and costing the team points, or, based of Bahrain, he'll be far further behind than Sainz was
Hamilton move to Ferrari is from a marketing point of view Nowadays Leclerc is probably faster than Hamilton But from a economic perspective, Sainz don't even come close to Hamilton
I don't think Leclerc will be too aggressive against his teammate close one was 2019 with team confusion order and Brazil went all blow up
Except since his arrival in Ferrari he said he doesn't consider himself a number 2.
I do think Mercedes-AMG will seriously go and offer Max to switch around 2026 (or even earlier) if the RBR-Ford power unit change over tests doesn't turn out well. Aston Martin will be the best bet presently for Sainz. What's good about VW/Audi though is everytime they switch and move to a new racing ad/venture, they quickly win races. WRC (Audi and VW), LeMans (Audi), DTM (Audi) Pikes Peak (Audi), Dakar (Audi and VW), so am putting Audi as a good switch for Sainz as well.
I just can't see Alonso going to Merc at this point. If Merc upper management were questioning Lewis because of age then what hope does Alonso have?
Alonso is him
Sainz reminds me of Rosberg
Who says Fernando won't be a rookie for a 100 more years?
There's only one teammate that Sainz didn't get along well in his entire racing career is ....Verstappen.
Another great op-analysis by you.
Completely agree that Audi makes no sense for Sainz. Why anyone thinks a driver hunting for championships would make his decision based on where his did raced in another sport , is bizarre.
If Max's daddy moves him to Merc as is being threatened maybe Checo and Carlos at Redbul, or Alonso and Carlos at Redbill..
That wouldnt workout with daniel, yuki and liam. Atleast one of them would get into the red bull seat if checo gets dropped.
@@Bananananananannananananna Not necessarily although tbh I think Danny Ric is who Horner wants and it's the faction inside redbull he is fighting with that prefers Yuki. Given it looks like redbull is backing Horner over the Austrian faction it looks better for Danny's chances. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out with those 2 team mates this season given there's already a bit of needle in the first race.
@@braveheart4603 yeah even in the netflix series it was just christian meatriding danny ric for most of it
Hmmm good analysis. With the new factories and facilities at Aston Martin, and with Honda's onboarding from 2026 season onwards, Carlito can take a punt at Aston. And it could be advisable for him to not go for the Audi seat right now. If he finds out that Aston is not working in 2026, and Audi is, then he can always move to Audi after 2027.
You talk about the length of time a new team can win a championship in without mentioning Brawn GP. In fact Honda were in shambles and in just one year became a new team with the new regulations and won immediatley.
I agree with you but after all this you watch him end up at Haas 😂
It would be nice to see Haas finally go for at least one driver who isn't completely useless, as has been their MO since entering the sport. There's no way any of their cars have ever been maximized by any of the drivers they've employed. The best in those terms is Hulkenberg whose shown through his career that he is best at maximizing one lap and 60-70% of a race, if that but no more. I doubt Sainz would want to go there but Haas would be dumb to not give it a good try, meaning they won't.
@@f1jones544 bruh haas is trash they dont belong in f1 they should sell
Great analysis. The part about Sainz to Audi is exactly what I think as well, despite many people saying that him to Audi is a "good move". Futhermore, I would expect Audi to have two of Bottas/Zhou/Hulkenberg for their first few years until they prove to be competitive enough to attract WDC level drivers. Objectively Bottas and Zhou never underperform the car, and are good enough for a midfield Audi team. Hulkenberg is good too and also German. Why not other midfield drivers? Yes there are other good ones, but realistically what's the point to have them when they are not a big upgrade from Bottas/Zhou/Hulkenberg? In the end I think it's Bottas/Zhou/Hulkenberg to Audi.
Bottas is very good
Fernando Alonso champ 2039.
By far the best F1 KZheadr out there. No question.
Umm tiametmarduk better
In the past, when Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz were driving for Toro Rosso, I somehow expected Sainz to join him at Redbull at some point...😵💫
Aldas Aldas Aldas what can I say? I still think you were wrong about your drivers ratings back in 2019. But after the Australian Grand Prix and actually having a closer look at has done over the last year I have to say Carlos Sainz has slowly but steadily improved his driving to become currently the strongest driver on the formula 1 grid. I'm not saying that I'm wrong about being critical of Carlos in the past. But honestly, I'm just keeping it real in the present. Good Mr. Sainz!!😀👍🏾
Aston Martin might indeed be his best option. Furthermore I believe the scenario you briefly mentioned in which Max leaves Red Bull and is replaced by Alonso is more likely to happen than one might think right now: There seems to be much tension between Verstappen's management and Horner, which seemingly started with Horner trying to ditch advisor Helmut Marko last year. The Verstappen's are on Marko's side, because it was him who brought Max into F1 in 2015 and to Red Bull in early 2016. If Horner stays as team principal despite the current debacle, I can see Verstappen leave Red Bull by the end of the year. It also makes sense long-term: There is a new set of engine-regulations on the way for 2026. Mercedes has developed F1 engines for the last 20+ years, Red Bull only has had his own engine-department for just a couple of years now and they never had to design and built a powertrain from scratch, since they basically took over what Honda left behind. So I can see Max replacing Hamilton at Mercedes, Alonso replacing Max at Red Bull, Sainz replacing Alonso at Aston and once Kimi Antonelli is ready for F1, Merceds might either give him a test-driver contract to put Russel under pressure or negotiate a deal for him at Williams similar to what they did with Russel.
Lmao yes Verstappen will abandon the Red Bull in 2025 so another one can take the championship for him Keep dreamin pal
@@Eriksen-wp3tvIt would be a trade-off: The 2025 championship against possibly a better chance of success after 2026. We'll have to wait and see if it happens. Besides: In 1977 when Lauda won his second title with Ferrari he wanted nothing more than to get away from there. Despite them having the best car at the time. I don't know about you but people generally don't like toxic work environments and at least from the outside it looks like Red Bull has become exactly that. There's definitely something brewing within. Whether this can be sorted out or not remains to be seen.
aston is THE worst option, especially when lance dad own the aston martin
@@lofipurple Lance is just there and miles off the pace. On the flipside: They got the people, the facilities, financial stability and Mercedes engines, which is never a bad thing. I know that people want to see him at Audi but let‘s be real: it‘ll take them time to be competitive. If he desperately wants to go there he could also leave Aston after 2025 when the new rules arrive. No one can force a driver to drive for his team if set driver isn‘t willing to do so.
I agree
I think you're right.
Hamilton going to Ferrari will be seen as one of the biggest mistakes in F1 history. Hamilton will not improve the team. The duo Leclerc/Sainz is already the best on the grid imo (I mean look at their wheel to wheel combat), and they have respect for each other. This move is not only a gut punch for Sainz but also for Leclerc who will have to leave in the shadow of Hamilton. And finally having Hamilton in the team will just put even more scrutiny on their incompetence.
Leclerc and Sainz is definitely the most complete driver line-up at the moment.
It's Ferrari, what do you expect. They overthink shit.
Is kinda weird but why not Hamilton dream be that team that mind his last team before his retirement is not bad thing he just want complete his dream
It's not a mistake. He has nothing to lose and no other time to do it.
Ferrari will have the two most popular drivers in F1. Having Hamilton from a branding perspective is huge. We shall see if it translates on the track
Although Max is the runaway favourite for 2024, I believe this season is Sainz’s best chance to win over the next five years. Carlos has the car (Ferrari) apparently capable of winning the odd race, so if Carlos can simply put himself in contention at each track he has an outside chance. It’s time for him to use Keke Rosberg as his inspiration. As far as the future, Aston Martin may very well be his best option - 100%.
Thing is with Aston Martin, Sainz going there would present the same risk as going to Audi, with the teams having new power unit makers in 2026. Plus, how competitive will they be in 2025, is another question. I think it’s more likely he will go to Mercedes for a few years as a way to still be in a competitive car while waiting is see what Audi become. It’s not like Mercedes have become backmarkers and it looks like they might finally be going places with their ground-effect era concept. The element of stability with Merc going into 2026 and beyond makes that the more viable option for him, in my eyes.
Mercedes going places? To P5 and P7 like in the season opener? Wait a minute, that's worse than last year 😂
@@patepulkkinenvtec2403 Still better than Stake
For red bull Lando Norris is the number 1 replacement for replacing Max For Mercedes top priority is Max and then Kimi then Fernando or Sebastian Red bull won't replace Perez even if he doesn't finish 2nd in the drivers championship as longest as he doesn't crash a lot for obvious reasons they want to keep him and also his connection with her. ( Wait till the end of Jeddah weekend because Sunday there will be a fire which will be the great hell for someone)
I think Red Bull and Mercedes should really consider their options with Sainz on the table for next season. I couldn't care less about was RB have promised Ricci, nor Mercedes' plans for Antonelli. I'd immediately change my mind if Alonso retires and leaves that space at Aston. Like you said, the dev cycle of thaf team has been amazing. They need to be in a position where they aren't lagging mid season as the did last year... if they can sustain the development race this year.... I have hope that Carlos can thrive there.
Alonso to Merc and Sainz to AMR makes sense . Or Both as teammates in AMR
I liked Sainz at Ferrari, but the move they pulled with Hamilton made 2024 and 2025 already really interesting, at least off track (on track we all know RB will keep winning everything). Personally I'd love to see Sainz in Aston Martin alongside Alonso, but I wouldn't mind if he moved to Mercedes either, which I do believe it's a little more unlikely since they have a lot of options already, even more so if Antonelli will have an incredible F2 season.
4:00 are you sure about this 😂 At this point Im 80/20 that Audi will pull out, like every VAG company previously since they have no desire to race in F1 and management changes hands way to much in that company that evey two to three years they sound like a heavily bipolar freak. So yeah i wouldn't put any of my eggs in that audi basket till that Team is actually at a race and its called Team AUDI 😂
I'd love to Alonso and Sainz in AM. But who knows will Stroll brat get bored of driving 😢
Under-deliveries at RB due to Hell-mute on schedule. Carlos to RB would be entertaining but teamed with Alonso is proper.
Sainz has proven his worth over the last 2 years. Even if he were to sign with Audi people would still understand his talent if he were to have shortcomings. In my opinion if Audi come to the table with a pay wage that is hard to turn down he should just accept the deal. Even if he disappoints with them his name is established.
Feel bad for sainz thoo... He is top 5 driver right now 100 percent
Max Lewis Leclerc Lando Fernando
Lando/piastri to rb and sainz to mclaren looks like an option too
I mean... Carlos Sainz is a former Red Bull Junior driver
The best combination would be Carlos and Checo in Aston Martin. They are both gentlemen, they both work first for the team, methodical, disciplined, and they also have a good relationship. Checo knows the team well and Carlos replacing Fernando. Of course, all this with the condition that Fernando goes to another team or retires and that Stroll decides to realize that he is not going to give any more.
Seeing how F1 changed the engine regulations when Mercedes was coming in to a technology they were already fsmiliar with in other motorsports categories, and how they are doing the same for 2026 by making it more similar to Audi's own rally engine, I think Audi will start with a massive R&D head start for the new regulations and I expect them to be at the front from the get go.
Thank you. Finally someone who doesn't dismiss Sainz potentially beating Russel. Many regard Leclerc a much better driver than Russel and Sainz is right there with Leclerc. Him beating Russel in Mercedes is very possible and even probable.
Carlos would NEVER sit in a Aston Martin tractor
how quickly did Audi win in WEC? or am i thinking of Porsche where it was the year they joined? Besides if any outfit has the ability to come in all guns blazing, its Audi Sport
How long did it take Brawn GP though??
Now I am thinking to do deeper research on Audis future in F1 cuz I have been too much biased by hype news and media. I am Carlos fan and I do not worry about his career as he will get what he deserves. Everything will go smoooooth.
He knows he has to take a big risk and i think it's the right decision. It's better to have a chance in 2030 then never. The usual frontrunner Teams have incredible Talent with Verstappen, Norris, Piastri, Leclerc, Antonelli. So the best seats are already filled with very good/better drivers (in their respectable team). He would no doubt be able to find a safer choice for good seats and get good placings, but he won't be able to compete for DWC in them.
Not sure why people equate Lewis going to Ferrari with Max to Mercedes. Whatever else is said about the Lewis move, the overwhelming reason is that he is looking for an opportunity to get another championship before he ages out of racing, which the last 2+ years have validated that Mercedes can't provide that. He's not leaving a winning team/car. Max is in a completely different situation - he is a winning driver in a winning car with a winning team. It would be crazy to go to Mercedes at this time. And whether you like Horner or not, he was at RB long before Max came along, and if we believe the hype, Max can essentially walk away from RB anytime regardless of his contract thru '28, so it would be crazy to make TP decisions based on any driver. And just curious - would GP go with Max??
It's a complete no-brainer for Carlos; get in that Audi and make bank (a lot) and for many years to come and as the #1 driver versus putting himself in the harm's way in a yo-yo position at Red Bull. Carlos is one - if not the - smartest driver on the grid today and while he might not be winning as much he would like to, he plays chess while the most of rest of the grid plays checkers. Just a thought.
Here's the problem, since like 2013 that team hasn't finished higher than 8th.
People expect Audi to fail but a whats basically a privateer in Andretti do well..nope what you are looking at there are the new Arrows and Minardi.
05:51 - you sure about that? 😉
Hear me out, Max to Mercedes, Alonso to Red Bull, Sainz to Aston, Lawson to RB, Antonelli to Williams, Bearman to Haas and Ricciardo to Sauber for 2025. Gonna laugh at this next year.
Wait, wait. If Sainz ever beats George, Mercedes would become his team?! He has beaten both Lando and Charles and Lando in their respective teams, yet it never become his team. Be for real, George's disrespect is hilarious 🤣
That part of the video is delusional Sainz wouldn't be able to beat neither Norris or Russelll in the long term
Lewis is undoubtedly a great driver but there are several more in his league. His past success was hugely related to the machine that Mercedes gave him. Now that they've been surpassed, he doesn't look that dominant now, Max does, with his superior machine for the time being. The best car is the key.
That off hand comment about Alonso to Red bull sounds like another video to me. If max leaves Fernando will be the best option, he’s fast, he’s hungry and he has the experience of working with a controversial team principal!!
•Audi has now committed to 100% buy-out of Sauber in 2026. Wouldn't just count them out so easily now.
All I'm gonna say is: you could've said the same about Hamilton's move to Mercedes back in the day. Audi aren't known for half-arsing their motor racing programmes. They reach dominance pretty much everytime they try. It'll be on them to show Sainz that they're working on a competitive car and engine.
what kind of crack were u on when u thought aston martin could have an all spanish lineup without stroll lmao
I think he should prioritize trying to get into Mercedes as a top priority, if not, then Aston Martin second priority, and if not, then Audi. I don't see Red Bull as a viable possibility because it requires too many things to line up, and I don't think Red Bull will be hiring a new driver at the end of the year.
Didnt know this was a comedy video… lance being replaced!?! Gooooooooooood one…..
I think sainz should go to williams or Aston while oliver bearman goes to Mercedes if Alonso retires at Aston. Perez stay 1 more year at red bull & Liam Lawson partners with Tsunoda
Agree that Aston Martin would be a great fit for Carlos.
