GPFans Staff Saturday 11 May 2024 00:00

Carlos Sainz as reportedly been set a 'deadline' to commit his future to one potential F1 suitor.

The Spaniard is in his final season at Ferrari and is to be replaced by seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton for 2025.

Sainz has recorded Ferrari's only win of the season so far, which came at the Australian Grand Prix on his return from surgery on his appendix.

Having impressed despite the news he would be making way for Hamilton, Sainz has had no shortage of interest, but is still to land a seat for 2025 and beyond.
