168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz has confirmed that he was made aware that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton would be replacing him for the 2025 F1 season well in advance o𝓡f the official annou꧃ncement earlier this month.

Sainz is without a drive for next year with Hamilton joining Ferrar🐈i from Mercedes in a seismic move for the sport next season.

The decision to replace Sainz was not entirely down to performance given the Spaniard claimed Ferrari’s only victory of the 2023 F1 season at the Singapore Grand Prix and was only narrowly out-scored by teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc.

Ferrari are the latest F1 team to unveil their new challen☂ger ahead of the 2024 season - the SF-24 - with both drivers conducting a shake down at Maranello on Tuesday.

Following the launch of their new car, Sainz spoke to select media including 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:mahbx.com, giving his reaction to Hamilton taking his place at Ferrari and whet🦋her Mercedes are his best option in terms of finding a competitive race drive for next year.

“I think it was a🍎 bit of🐬 a surprise for everyone in the F1 world with the news. I think everyone was surprised in a way with what happened," Sainz said.

“From my side, you can obviously understand that I got to know the news a ওbit earlier than anyone else but it’s true I had some weeks to reflect, some weeks to prepare, some weeks to also get ready for the car launch, for the first race of the season so it gives you a bit of time to digest it, take your own 🌼conclusions and to focus on the 2024 season that is ahead.

“The fact that it was a bit of a surprise to the whole Fo♎r🐷mula 1 world is no news and it was obviously also for me.”

Even though Sainz’s journey with Ferrari comes to an end 🅠this year, he’s proud of what he’s achieved with the Italian team and believes there’s “going to be good🌠 things coming” in the future.

“Well first of all I feel very privileged to be part of Ferrari and still having a year ahead - that will be a total of ♚four ye𝔍ars as a Scuderia Ferrari driver,” he added.

“I think when you’re a Ferrari driver you can go to every team from now on having been in Ferrari, a ܫFerrari driver. It does good to any driver on the grid. If on top of that, you add the fact that I have won races for Ferrari, I made pole positions, I’ve made podiums.

“I think I’ve helped this team to move forward up the grid. My overall feeling of these four years is definitely positive. I cannot wait to see what the future hol👍ds for me because I am sure there’s going to be good things coming.”
