Red Bull's Helmut Marko wades in on Carlos Sainz, Ferrari F1 rumours: "That makes no sense"

Reports in Spanish media have claimed that Sainz’s future at Ferrari is 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:under serious threat with both his team and teammate, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc, unhappy.
El Nacional 🌞reported that Ferrari are “tired of Sainz’s 🙈excuses” about his performances, while they also claimed Leclerc is “angry” at the Spaniard because he didn’t help him at the Australian Grand Prix.
But Marko, who knows Sainz well from his time within Red Bul🍎l’s driver stable, does not ꦉbuy the rumours.
“Today, anyone can more or lꦰess post something on the internet. Reports can no longer be controlled,” the 79-year-old Austrian told.
“Why should Ferrari part with Carlos? That doesn’t make any sense. Carlos is doing a good job. Ferrari has other problems than thinking about 💜Sainz.”
Sainz recently168澳洲5最新开奖结果: denied speculation linking him with a move to Audi for 2026, describing the reports as “uncorroborated ꦛrumours”.
Does Leclerc have an exit clause?
According to SPORT1, it is actually Leclerc who🔯 is giving Ferrari a headache amid uncertai꧙nty over his future.
Leclerc’s current deal is due to run out at the end of 2024 and the Monegasque has been heavily linked with Mercedes as a potential replacement for the out-of-contract 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton, who is yet to commit to the G♍erman manufacturer.
Marko su♛spects Leclerc’s contract will include some kind of performance clause that would allow for an early separation.
“These pe♛rforman🧔ce clauses are common today,” said Marko.
“It roughly states that a driver must have a cer♏tain number of points at a ꧃certain time of the season, usually in late summer, so that the contract is automatically renewed.
“If this is not the case, both parties have the opportunity to dissolve the contra𝓀ct. For this reason, our Sebastian Vettel🧸 was able to switch to Ferrari so easily in 2015.”
