[Saba Sports News] With the recent official announcement from the F1 Alpine team stating that driver Esteban Ocon will be leaving the team at the end of this season, there is currently a vacant driver’s seat for next season. The team aims to sign a new driver to make up. While Mick Schumacher is considered for the Endurance Championship WEC, former Haas team boss Guenther Steiner recently expressed in an interview that he believes the team should pursue Carlos Sainz, who also left Ferrari this season. Steiner believes that Sainz is the better choice among strong drivers as the team is in urgent need of a strong performance. However, the editor disagrees, suggesting that Sainz should not join the Alpine team due to potential resource and competitiveness gaps compared to top teams. Joining the Alpine team might expose Sainz to tougher competition, and there are doubts about the competitiveness of the Alpine team’s car.
