After the announcement of Lewis Hamilton joining Ferrari, Carlos Sainz was left without a seat for 2025. However, Sainz has not decided yet where he will drive for the 2025 season. The Spaniard has various options on his list but has still not decided where to land. This uncertainty has caused mental stress to the Ferrari driver.

Carlos Sainz had a conversation with the media before this weekend’s British GP. He revealed that he’s been spending a significant amount of time thinking about his future move. The Spaniard admitted that a big time of his weekdays, from Mondays to Thursdays, is occupied by numerous phone calls and meetings. The discussion obviously involved the team he is in and the team he’s negotiating with.

Honestly, quite a lot. I'm not going to lie. Mondays to Thursdays, before I arrive at a track, there are a lot of phone calls, a lot of time spent on the phone, meetings with my management team, but also with the teams that I'm talking to, trying to understand and trying to have a full picture of the situation. Carlos Sainz said, as reported by RacingNews365

The Spaniard explained that his current situation is very stressful and demands a lot of time. He expressed the frustration of not being able to fully relax and take a break from everything. The 29-year-old expressed that his mind is constantly thinking about what lies ahead in his career, leaving him feeling mentally distracted and unsure. Currently, Alpine is believed to be the frontrunner for Carlos Sainz.

It's probably quite stressful and time consuming, instead of being able to fully disconnect and recharge. Obviously, my mind is still somewhere else, thinking about my future and wondering what it will be. Carlos Sainz added

You always need to see and analyze with perspective in mind. That's why I'm going to take all the time possible that I can to make such an important decision because it involves the outcome of the next few years of my life. I think it's valid for me to give myself the time. Carlos Sainz added
