Carlos Sainz can take the place of Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes, according to Toto Wolff

After Sainz’s victory at the Australian Grand Prix, Toto Wolff said the Iberian driver was among the options being considered to replace Hamilton (39).

“Those who are available or may be of interest to us, all have arguments in their favor. Whether they are very young, whether they are very experienced or in their prime… Or Carlos Sainz.

It’s a tough choice. There are grounds for signing each of the considered. I just want to step back and just monitor the situation. Some of the guys mentioned may sign with other teams, so at this point I’m just watching the situation.” – Toto Wolff, head of Mercedesreports Marca.

The mission for Mercedes representatives will not be easy, Red Bull is looking for a colleague for Max Verstappen (Sergio Perez’s contract expires at the end of the 2024 season).

This season, Carlos Sainz finished 3rd in Bahrain, missed Saudi Arabia (had appendicitis surgery) and won in Australia. The Spaniard scored 40 points and is in 4th place in the drivers’ standings.
