Saint wants to stay at Ferrari until 2027
According to the Italian press, Carlos Sainz is rejecting the 1+1 year contract reportedly offered by Scuderia as he says his goal is to stay at Maranello for many more years – and become champions with the Italian team.
Unlike Charles Leclerc, who has reportedly already agreed a new five-year contract – with double salary – that will keep him at Maranello until the end of 2029, things are more complicated for Carlos Sainz. The Italian press is sure that Scuderia does not want to tie the Spaniard down for so many years.
But that’s exactly what the 29-year-old wants – and the negotiations between the two sides have stalled for the time being. Saith also reportedly wants the new contract to be finalized and signed in Bahrain before the start of the new season on March 1-2, 2024.
“There are rumors about what they are offering me, but all this is being written without knowing the facts and I will not enter into a discussion based on speculation.” Saith said behind the scenes at a sponsorship event in Madrid.
“We have to agree, and we have three months to do so – until the first league game. Of course I want the update [του συμβολαίου] and I would like her for more than a year.
I feel absolutely valued by Fred [Βασέρ, διευθυντή της ομάδας] and from her entire family Ferrari, and for a driver this is the main priority. I am convinced that we will come to an agreement if we both want it.added the Spaniard.
Leclerc and Sainz’s current contracts with Scuderia expire at the end of 2024, and the latter says he needs to know before the start of the year whether it will be extended: “The reality is that there have been discussions, as Fred said the other day. I need to start figuring out where I will be in 2025.
I wouldn’t want to start [τη χρονιά] I don’t know what my goal will be. My first priority is Ferrari, and stay there for many years. It’s no secret, it’s a team that I feel very comfortable with. We have to come to an agreement in the next few months.”Saint added.
Finally, regarding the 2024 competition and the question of whether Scuderia can threaten Red Bull for the title, he emphasized: “I think Max didn’t have to drive 100% in all races [του 2023] and that’s what scares me the most. That’s why I say this Ferrari that our improvement should not be 4 tenths [στο γύρο]but 6 tenths.
We have to find the reason why we lose that little extra step in the races. On Saturday we will see that we are not that far, but in the race they have three tenths or half a second and we finish 30 seconds behind them. We made the mistake of driving in the wrong direction, as our car showed in mid-2022. We thought we weren’t that far away. The same thing happened in “Mercedes”concluded the Ferrari driver.

There are growing rumors in the paddock that Red Bull is preparing to make a radical change to the livery of its car for the first time since 2015.
Ten years ago the Austrians created a design that they use today almost unchanged, with minor adjustments to the layout of elements and changes to the composition of sponsors.
According to multiple sources, the team decided to finally update its look, going back closer in spirit to the first look, inspired by the design of Red Bull energy drink cans. The team itself is already talking about this design on social networks and periodically directs its fans to it.
Let’s remember that the team was supposed to present its new uniform on January 15 at an event in the USA where Ford will also show off the design of the youth team. Due to the difference in time zones, the live broadcast of the event will start at 05:00 Kyiv time.
If Red Bull finally brings back chrome for the 2026 livery 👀

Red Bull Ford seems to have decided to slow down with one of the most radical technical solutions on the eve of the start of the new regulations. The concept in question is an engine concept with an extreme 1:18 compression ratio, which is seen as a potential loophole in the regulations.
According to information received from the paddock, this configuration is not planned to be used in tests in Barcelona. The reason is quite ordinary; The risk level is very high. Although engineers expected a noticeable increase in power, at the same time serious doubts were raised about the stability of the engine in racing conditions.
The team fears that relying on aggressive architecture could lead to a wave of power unit failures early in the season. Therefore, the version that Red Bull Ford is ready to move away from this idea altogether, preferring a more balanced and predictable solution, is now increasingly heard.

In Formula 1, the 2026 season will start a new technical era in the championship. The teams are preparing for radically changing regulations that will deliver a different car concept, updated aerodynamics and new generation power plants. This is the beginning of such rules, which often becomes a decisive moment not only for sporting results, but also for strategic decisions within teams.
2026 could be a decisive year for Ferrari. After several seasons in which the team regularly lost momentum due to mechanical limitations, Maranello decided to change its approach to the basic concept of the car.
Against this background, Charles Leclerc’s words are becoming increasingly important, according to the Italian publication autoracer.it. The Monegasque openly admitted that the start of the 2026 season will be decisive for his future at Ferrari. According to him, if the team cannot compete at a high level once again, this could put an end to its history of cooperation with Maranello.
Separately, the futures of Lewis Hamilton and team leader Frederic Vasseur are also in danger. For the seven-time world champion, 2026 could be a chance to highlight a new generation of cars that will better suit his driving style.
