Sainz Ferrari 2024 – Scuderia Ferrari have announced it has extended it’s contract with Carlos Sainz until the end of the 2024 FIA Formula One World Championship season.
The Spaniard made a brilliant debut season with the Scuderia last campaign, scoring points in all but two Grands Prix and reached the podiums four times and finished fifth in the World Driver’s Championship standings, two places above team-mate Charles Leclerc.
Last month, the former Scuderia Toro Rosso, Renault and McLaren driver Sainz said he was very close to signing a new agreement with Ferrari, and in the days leading up to the team’s home Grand Prix at Imola, the deal was set in stone.
“I am very happy to have renewed my contract with Scuderia Ferrari,” explained Sainz. “I have always said that there is no better Formula 1 team to race for and after over a year with them, I can confirm that putting on this race suit and representing this team is unique and incomparable. My first season at Maranello was solid and constructive, with the whole group progressing together. The result of all that work has been clear to see so far season,”
“I feel strengthened by this renewed show of confidence in me and now I can’t wait to get in the car, to do my best for Ferrari and to give its fans plenty to cheer about. The F1-75 is proving to be a front-runner, which can allow me to chase my goals on track, starting with taking my first Formula 1 win.” Sainz concluded credit to Ferrari for the quote.
Ferrari Team Principal and Managing Director Mattia Binotto added:
“I have said several times that I believe we have the best driver pairing in Formula 1 and so, with every passing race, it seemed a completely natural step to extend Carlos’ contract, thus ensuring stability and continuity. In his time so far with the team, he has proved to have the talent we expected from him, delivering impressive results and making the most of all opportunities,”
“Outside the car, he is a hard worker with an eye for the smallest detail, which has helped the whole group to improve and progress. Together, we can aim for ambitious targets and I’m sure that, along with Charles, he can play a significant part in fuelling the Ferrari legend and will write new chapters in the history of our team.” Binotto concluded.

Sainz’s new contract sees him brought in-line with team-mate Leclerc, with both drivers now locked into the Prancing Horse until the end 2024.
The Spaniard, who has 143 Grand Prix starts to his name, currently sits third in the World Constructor’s Championship standings on 33 points, having scored second and third places in the opening two races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia before retiring last time out at the Australian Grand Prix.
