Carlos Sainz has angrily rejected claims he is Audi’s number 1 driver pick for 2026. “Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz is said to be at the top of Sauber CEO Andreas Seidl’s list.”. “My intention is to stay at Ferrari for many years,” Sainz said at an appointment with his sponsor Estrella Galicia. “We have been surprised by how quick Red Bull are and how other teams like Aston Martin have improved,” he said. This week, Ferrari’s appeal against a penalty that dropped Sainz out of the points for a clash with Fernando Alonso in Melbourne was rejected by the FIA.
