Rome, April 21 (BUS): Carlos Sainz Jr. signed a new contract with Ferrari on Thursday until 2024, ahead of the Formula 1 race at home this weekend. Sainz joined Ferrari from McLaren in 2021 on a two-year contract.
Ferrari leads the constructors’ championship after two wins for Sainz’s teammate, Charles Leclerc, in the opening three races. Sainz, who has never won a Formula One race, finished second in Bahrain and third in Saudi Arabia, but the Spaniard was knocked out of the last race in Australia.
The 27-year-old Sainz is third in the drivers’ standings, 38 points behind Leclerc and four points behind George Russell, the Associated Press said.
The next race is this weekend’s Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, which will take place in Imola, on a track named after the Italian team’s founder and son: Enzo and Dino Ferrari.
Ferrari has not won a home race since 2019 at Monza by Leclerc at the Italian Grand Prix.
