The multiple facets behind Sainz's growing stature at Ferrari

Whisper it, but for a while it was looking as if Ferrari wasn’t quite as keen for Carlos Sainz to stay on as the Spaniard was to sign a new contract. But he’s turned
it around this year and, as GP RACING explains, that Singapore win is only part of the reason Sainz has convinced the powers that be at Maranello
that he’s the man for the job…

In the midst of another tough year for Ferrari, Carlos Sainz has had his best season yet for the team, and it looks as if it will secure him a long-term future at Maranello.

Just after the summer break, Sainz’s position at Ferrari looked less guaranteed. He wanted to stay beyond the end of his current contract, which finishes next season, but the team wasn’t as sure.
