Ferrari to consider extending Carlos Sainz contract beyond 2022
Ferrari boss Mattia Binotto has revealed that his team will consider offering Carlos Sainz a contract extension. The Spaniard’s future will be decided by the team over the winter break after the 2021 Formula 1 season came to a conclusion last weekend in Abu Dhabi. Carlos Sainz managed to put Ferrari on the podium in the dramatic season finale by finishing third. However, his achievement went unrecognized as all attention was on the championship battle between Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen. Sainz joined the duo on the podium after the race. “A podium to end a magic season… first season for me at Ferrari,” Sainz said. “P5 in the championship I think.” Ferrari commended the 27-year old for doing well in his debut season with the team amid struggling to keep up with his teammate Charles Leclerc. “Carlos had a great year,” Binotto confirmed. The Ferrari boss was also asked on whether they will be rewarding Carlos Sainz with a contract extension beyond 2022 after a successful 2021 season. “When we signed him a year ago, we said that the winter would be the time to talk and review everything that happened during the season,” said Binotto. “So we will do that in the winter. There will be a joint review of the entire season and we will talk about what our future will look like.” “When we signed Carlos, we wanted two good drivers in the race who are consistently scoring points. That’s been the case this season,” Binotto added. “I’m very happy with what Carlos has done this season, his first with Ferrari, which was not easy. But we signed him because he is a good driver who scores points and is able to learn.”
