is rumored to have been declined a seat with the Mercedes Formula 1 team for the 2025 season, despite the leaving of Lewis Hamilton toMercedes' explicit choice to bypass an established driver like Sainz in favor of the young Italian rookie, Andrea Kimi Antonelli, has resounding implications for both the driver market and the strategic direction of one of F1’s most successful teams.
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff reaffirmed their direction, admitting that the Scuderia driver wasn't a target for the team. He also hinted that he would rather focus his time on the rookie than play a safe bet on Sainz, emphasizing the team's long-term investment in youth over the experienced Spaniard. Hamilton himself has backed Antonelli, advising Mercedes to "give him the car" for the 2025 season, further manifesting internal support for the young driver.
