Sainz🍌 is keen🍃 for everything to be planned out well in advance of his contract expiring.

“Obviously I don’t want to reveal what my strategies are in terms of contractual negotiations because it’s something that I never disclose,🌼” he said.

“But if🌟 you heard me on interviews in the past, I’ve always said I like going into an F1 season knowing where I’m going to race the year after because I went through that experience in Renault and I didn’t enjoy it at all. Everything planned out, that would be [the] target.

“Not necessarily this year, but before the start of next year or duri🐈ng the start of next year.”

Sainz described the current speculation about Ferrari’s driver line-up𓃲 as typical silly season speculation.

“Honestly, no, because at the end I feel like I don’t think I need to; I know at this time of the year there is always these kiཧndওs of rumours, it’s silly season time,” he added.

“A week and a half ago I was going t🐻o Audi, one week ago🐷 Charles was going to Mercedes, now Lewis is coming to Ferrari.

“It’s the story of our lives when it comes to this time of the 𓂃year. I’ve been long enough 𝔉in F1, more than eight years, to know that it’s that time of the year.”
