Alpine Joins the Fray: Carlos Sainz Weighs Third F1 Team Option for 2025 Season
Carlos Sainz has a new potential destination as a third F1 team shows interest after the Spanish Grand Prix. The driver is being considered for a spot in 2025.
Carlos Sainz is now considering Alpine as a potential third choice for the 2025 Formula 1 season.
According to Motorsport.com, Alpine has submitted a "last-minute offer" to secure Sainz for the upcoming season.
Crash.net has reached out to Alpine for a statement but has not yet heard back.
Up until now, Sainz has had potential opportunities with Sauber (Audi) and Williams, but it seems that Alpine is now also a possibility.
Alpine has yet to finalize their 2025 roster following their announcement of Esteban Ocon's departure.
Pierre Gasly has yet to officially join Alpine, though he is anticipated to stay with the Enstone-based team, especially in light of their recent comeback.
Alpine aims to re-sign Sainz to their Enstone base.
Carlos Sainz spent a little more than a season with Renault from 2017 to 2018 before making the move to McLaren
Carlos Sainz's father, also named Carlos Sainz, was spotted conversing with Flavio Briatore during the weekend event in Barcelona.
Briatore has been brought on board as a consultant for the team, bringing his extensive knowledge and experience to the table.
Acquiring Sainz would demonstrate Alpine's ambitions, especially considering their performance this year.
Alpine began the year as the team with the least speed but has been steadily improving.
On Sunday, Gasly and Ocon secured points, helping the team advance to seventh place in the constructors' championship.
The addition of a third option complicates Sainz's choice for 2025 even further.
Sainz might consider moving to a factory team like Alpine, but the French brand hasn't demonstrated any potential to join the top contenders recently.
Williams and Sauber might not be as strong contenders, but they have potential advantages under the new regulations.
Guided by James Vowles, Williams is demonstrating promising signs of improvement, and the introduction of the Mercedes engine in 2026 might boost their ranking.
Audi has shown interest in Sainz ever since they revealed their plans to join Formula 1.
Becoming part of Audi could be highly profitable and enable Sainz to lead a worldwide automotive company.
There are worries that Audi is lagging in their power unit development, while Sauber's performance has been notably disappointing for the past ten years or more.
