Signing with the right team at the right time is part of the skill set of successful race car drivers. Furthermore, Ferrari and Sainz began negotiating in 2019 when the car was fast. “For me, I find that Ferrari is a great opportunity to do another move in my career, and it allows me to drive for another great team. And we still don’t know where Ferrari is going to be by 2021.”. If Ferrari had not signed Sainz, he still would have had a good home at McLaren. Ironically, Sainz eventually drove for Renault and McLaren, both former Alonso teams, as is Ferrari.
