The Spanish Carlos Sainz Jr. has signed with Ferrari for the 2021 and 2022 seasons and will succeed the German Sebastian Vettel, whose departure at the end of 2020 was formalized on Tuesday. The 25-year-old driver will be replaced at McLaren, with whom he is still engaged in 2020, by the Australian Daniel Ricciardo, from Renault, we had already learned a little earlier.
The son of the former rally champion made his Formula 1 debut in 2015 with the Toro Rosso team. After two and a half seasons, he joined Renault during the 2017 financial year before playing the entire 2018 season with the French team. In 2019, he joined McLaren. In 102 Formula 1 starts, he still hasn’t celebrated a single success. However, he finished once on the podium at the 2019 Brazilian Grand Prix.
