Carlos Sainz will end his collaboration with Ferrari after this season, so he is actively linked with various teams. According to reports, such teams as Red Bull and Mercedes are showing attention to the Spaniard.
Now, Nelson Piquet Jr. spoke about Sainz’s future career. The former F-1 athlete advises C. Sainz to choose Mercedes, as Red Bull should accept the role of the second driver.
“I understand that a lot of people think it’s better to drive a car like Red Bull and be the second driver than to be the face of teams like Alpine and Audi, for example. But there are more options.
McLaren doesn’t have a seat available for Saizn, so that’s not an option. Therefore, you should look at Mercedes. They have a big team, probably the biggest structure in F-1 and other components needed for these times. It has Toto Wolff, who wants to be champion more than anyone else, so it’s a team that will come back to the top sooner or later anyway.
At Ferrari you can’t go to Red Bull because you’ll still be behind Max there, so you have to go to Mercedes. I think it would really make more sense,” said N. Piquet Jr.
