Despite Ferrari departure, Sainz is ready to help Leclerc in 2024

Carlos Sainz is to leave Ferrari after the upcoming season. Despite this, he remains a team player and wants to help the team to the top. He even wants to help Leclerc to a world title, if necessary.

It came as a big shock to many. Sainz will have to make way for Lewis Hamilton at the Scuderia from 2025. This means the Spaniard only will have another year to spend with his current team.

Sainz is a true team player

While some would throw in the towel, Sainz remains sportive despite everything. He wants the best for his team and he is even willing to help Leclerc to help Ferrari to a world title this season. ''I have always been a great team player. ''I will always been a great team player. I've always been exemplary in that sense as a driver for any team. I will definitely help Charles if I have to, the same way that I expect Charles to help me if I have problems. I will challenge myself too,'' he told GPblog .com and others in a press briefing.

Where Sainz will go after this season is still unclear. He is widely linked with Audi, but that entry is not scheduled until 2026. So he actually has to bridge a year. A lot of seats will become vacant at the end of this F1 season, so it remains to be seen where the 29-year-old will go.
