What team will Carlos Sainz drive for in 2025?

My guess would be Sauber/Stake (Audi in 2026). But I could see one of the top teams snap him up as their 2nd driver.

I agree but imagine RB  snapped him up?

RB or MERC in the mix for him?

Surely Red Bull have to be tempted? Ricciardo is clearly washed and Tsunoda doesn't have the temperament to be a reliable second driver in a championship team. Sainz is an upgrade on Perez.

The Audi project is clearly appealing in the long term but I can't see that Sainz won't have offers from Red Bull and/or Mercedes and personally think, looking at the dustbins Sauber have put out this year, he'd be mad to go there instead.
