Carlos Sainz has spoken out on Mattia Binotto’s arrival at Audi.
Ahead of Belgian GP, it was confirmed that Binotto, former team principal at Ferrari, will join Audi as Chief Operating and Chief Technical Officer on August 1.
Sainz’s future is currently undecided after it was revealed that he will leave Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton will replace him at Scuderia.
The Spaniard has been linked with a sit at Audi in 2025.
“I think, first of all, I'm not up to date with everything that is going on at every team,” Sainz said. “But of course I think the arrival of Mattia to any team is positive, mainly because he has the experience of what it takes to build a team that is a top team nowadays, like it is at Ferrari.
“And he has that experience from Ferrari that he can bring into Audi. I'm sure it's a great asset for them, and that's why they hired him. And yeah, of course, I wish him all the best there.”
Speaking on his future and links with Audi, Sainz continued:
“Not really. I think my future is still being discussed and obviously analysed very carefully, and there's changes to a lot of teams that I'm looking at for next year pretty much every week.
“So there's changes, evolution on the team market as much as there is on the driver market. I'm just going to keep giving myself time to take the decision, to analyse all these things that keep changing, without giving you too many clues here.”
