The rumors made Carlos Sainz laugh
After the official announcement of the extension of his contract, Carlos revealed that he amused himself with the numerous rumors that circulated. Both Ferrari drivers have the same duration of contract in the Scuderia.
After a very good first season with the Scuderia, Carlos Sainz has had his contract renewed for the next two seasons. Officially, the announcement of this extension was long awaited, with Mattia Binotto and Carlos Sainz constantly deflecting questions regarding it. This is why many rumors circulated, sometimes even mentioning an impossible agreement between the driver and the team principal of the stable.
Well aware of these rumors, Sainz admitted to having fun reading them. You can’t imagine how much I laughed at home when people started writing this kind of thing! joked the Spaniard. Because from my side, everything was practically done and we were just waiting to announce it in Imola. These are funny moments, as always in Formula 1, with rumors and all that.
Moreover, the driver revealed that the extension of his contract did not pose many problems, especially after a successful first year with the Scuderia. The team therefore waited to be in front of the Tifosi to announce Sainz’s extension until 2024. Ferrari ensures a certain stability as both Leclerc and Sainz’s contracts will expire at the same time.
