Sainz, who is set to be replaced at Ferrari by Lewis Hamilton in 2025, is still weighing up contract offers from Alpine, Williams and Audi, who are in the process of taking over the Sauber team. The Hamilton news was confirmed at the end of January and several months of speculation about Sainz have followed without resolution. The Spaniard, described last month by Kevin Magnussen as "the cork in the bottle" in terms of how he's holding up other driver market moves, has said he will give himself as much time as possible to make a decision. When asked how much time the process was taking up away from the racetrack, Sainz said: "Honestly, quite a lot. I'm not going to lie. "Monday to Thursdays before I get to the track there's a lot of phone calls, a lot of time spent on the phone, meetings with my management team but also the teams I'm talking to, trying to understand and trying to have a full picture of the situation. "It's probably quite stressful and time consuming instead of maybe being able to fully disconnect and recharge. Obviously your mind is still somewhere else and thinking about your future and wondering what it will be. So not an ideal situation." Before Ferrari, Sainz drove at Toro Rosso (now AlphaTauri), Renault and McLaren, but often pointed out how he struggled in situations when he did not have a long-term contract, and has said contractual stability has always been key. Sainz admitted he still thinks that is the case but pointed to his recent results as evidence that he is managing to keep his mind on the prize when he's at an F1 circuit. "When I arrive on Thursday I feel like I'm able to perform as soon as I get into an engineering meeting. As soon as I put the helmet on I feel 100% in the car. I think the Austria weekend kind of proves that I'm still at a high level and performing at one of my best seasons in Formula One. "But as I always said I'm not going to be a hypocrite. I believe there's always more performance in being in a stable contract situation than being where I am at now, so I'm never going to deny myself that what I've said always." Sainz's three options are underwhelming for a driver who has won three races for Ferrari and established himself as one of the grid's best talents. All three appear to be poor options in the short term, but might have big upsides down the line. With the Ferrari driver seemingly resigned to some pain in the short term, he said fans should reserve judgement over whatever he finally decides to do until it has had time to play out on track. "There's a bit of guessing, a bit of luck, a bit of trying to educate yourself on what is happening around in Formula One," he said. "What I've thought about is don't judge the move in the short term or in the next few races or in the next year. "You always need to see and criticise or analyse a driver's move with perspective in time. Was this the right move for Carlos in five years time or not? That's why I think I'm going to take every time possible to make such an important decision because it involves the outcome of the next few years of my life so I think it is valid to give myself the time." 9656572 Sportfximg 1181010 2786 1hkirbp.753x Maxresdefault 242227 1 Toros Claim Western Regional Title Pic 1 ?media Id=100063805321645 75ONZM4TJBBMDINHHSZ2Q3UYOY.JPG 20220922 142310 7R309528 DxO 2873074 ThamjDF71hzbgjNe40iHB9DjIbzlf W3D4d6iMIBwNQ IMG 2311.JPG 10139010 IMG 2401 2019 SFHS Football Poster IMG 6329 Scaled ?media Id=469694361834071 2017 18 M Baskbl Team Photo ?w=1000&ssl=1 B8ebb5 F4cdfc9ce18447a9ac6c310fd4d2890a~mv2 CnlhTZpVIAE0Mtt Large 20b61c076f273d1e9983e895746a9413 Toreros 2 USD Basketball Toros Torreón 1100x1900 Gallery Image ?url=https California Times Brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com 42 9f Ec2468e6466faabdb62305ebb5b9 1196877 Usd Basketball Practice 013 462ea60f6af61f5a1162670fa8f65abf 3039?sid=3039&ts=1638206562 Bull Fun Performance Bullring Event Tradition Bullfighting Bulls Entertainment Toreador Bullfight Performing Arts Matador Arenas Traditional Sport Sport Venue Animal Sports Public Event Beaucaire 1377352 GettyImages 81530356 Scaled 316139593 676310727246506 4358556180680033016 N SPanish Fort Wins PCA Tournament 390540 TOROS VBQUGUW7EJLNFPPBCNTMYMQ4RU RaymondSPORTSWomensBasketball
