[Saba Sports News] Before the start of this season, British driver Lewis Hamilton announced he would leave Mercedes at the end of the season to join Ferrari, which means Spanish driver Carlos Sainz will lose his position next season. By mid-season, Sainz announced he had signed with the Williams team. Although it is a farewell season, Sainz’s performance at Ferrari has been impressive, contributing more points than his teammate Charles Leclerc, making him a key figure in the team’s continued opportunity to compete for the annual championship. Many Ferrari fans are reluctant to see Sainz leave. Currently, Sainz has a very good relationship with Ferrari. Although Sainz’s contract with the team does not end until the end of this year, Ferrari has specially allowed him to leave early to represent the Williams team in the post-season testing in Abu Dhabi. In contrast, Hamilton’s situation is much more awkward, as the Mercedes team has clearly stated that they will not allow him to leave early.
