168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz has admitted that deciding his F1 future is “str▨essful” - but insists he will make a decision based on the long-term.

The Ferrari driver knows he will be replaced by Lewis Hamilton but the rest of the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2025 F1 driver line-up is awaiting Sainz’s next move.

Williams, Sauber and𓂃 Alpine are thought toꦐ be the teams in the mix to land his signature.

Sainz has con🍌c💯eded that his decision is somewhat based on the unknowns of how an F1 team will perform into the new engine era of 2026 and beyond.

“There’s a bit of guessing, a bit of luck, a bit of trying to educate yourself on what is happening around in Formula One,” he said at Silverstone, where mahbx.com are in the paddock for 💞the F1 British Grand Prix.

“What I’ve thought about is don’t judge t🅷he move in the short-term or in t꧂he next few races or in the next year.

“You always need to see🐻 and criticise or analyse a driver’s🍃 move with perspective in time. 

“Was th🍨is the right move for Carlos in five years’ time or not?

“That’s why I think I’m going to take [all of the] 🔜time possible to make such an important decision because it involves the outcome of the next few years of my life so I think it is valid to give myܫself the time.”

Options at Mercedes, Red Bull and Aston Martin evaporated over 𝕴the past few 𝄹months.

Mercedes are making a decision later this year and are prioritising Andrea Kimi A𒁏ntonelli, while Red Bull and Aston Martin handed new deal🧜s to Sergio Perez and Fernando Alonso respectively.

Sainz admit🐈ted a Silverstone that negotiations to solve his future are distracting.

“Honestly, quite a lot,” he s🙈aid. “I’m꧙ not going to lie.

“Mond⛄ay to Thursdays before I get to the track there’s a lot of phone calls, a lot of time spent on the phone, meetings with my management team.

“But also the teams I’m talki⛎ng to, trying to understand and trying to have a full pictu♉re of the situation.

“It’s probably quite stressful and time consuming instead of maybe being able to fully disconne🍨ct and recharge.

“Obviously your mind is still somewhere else and thinking about 🔯your future and wondering what it will be. So not an ideal situation.

“At th🅘e same time when I arrive on Thursday I feel like I’m ab🌃le to perform as soon as I get into an engineering meeting.

“As soon as I put the helmet on I🦩 feel 100 p🌜ercent in the car. I think the Austria weekend kind of proves that I’m still at a high level and performing at one of my best seasons in Formula One.

“I believe there’s always more performance in being in a stable contract situation than being where I am at now, so I’m never going to deny♈ myself that.”
