Sainz’s presence in Jerez prompted the MotoGP channel to light-heartedly question whether he would be willing to walk away from F1 and consider ‘two wheels’, though reported interest from the likes of Mercedes and Red Bull are unlikely to prompt a career change.
Speaking about what the future holds recently, Sainz explained: “All options are open, but it takes time to come to such decisions. Little has happened in the last few weeks from this point of view, but it doesn’t affect the way I race, my work on the track. Choosing takes time for everyone. I am often asked whether it is better to think about next year or the long term when deciding. I guess it depends on what they offer you.
“As a driver, you always look at the option that presents you with the fastest single-seater, because you think that way you can win podiums and victories like I am doing this year. But also interesting are the possibilities in the medium term, given the change of regulations in 2026. Each side of the coin has its pluses and minuses, but the best thing is that today all options remain open.”
