some things really dont change

"sorry i was looking at the podium"

[c4rlandos]

there are some things to be said about the way sebastian left and the way carlos is leaving. there are some things to be said about coming home and finding your suitcase, packed, by the door. by a team you adore and you have bled for. but well

[c4rlandos]

this is all i think about and no one ever seems to talk about it and it drives me insane

[c4rlandos]

I really, really hope the rumors that Carlos might have only a short-term contract extension (i.e. until the end of 2025) are true. That may be a blow to his pride, and I feel for him deeply, but breaking away from Ferrari by 2026 would be the absolute best thing for him.

If you don’t know, Carlos and Charles are both currently contracted to Ferrari until the end of 2024, and both are now currently in talks for extensions. According to La Gazetta (grain of salt required), Charles is taking a five year extension to 2029 (whyyyy Charles? why do that to yourself?). Meanwhile, Carlos has asked for a 2-year extension, but Ferrari reportedly only want to offer him 1 year for now. Carlos potentially becoming a free agent for 2026 is very significant because that's the start of the next regulations era in F1; a new formula and new rules come into play, ushering in new engines and new cars and opening up the field for new contenders. It’s also when Audi will be stepping onto the grid as they take over for Sauber (currently Alfa Romeo). Importantly, Audi have been long-rumored to be interested in Carlos as the driver they want to sign and build their new team around.

I'm not going to delve into how much Ferrari has treated Carlos like shit, because we all know that story, and none of us are actually surprised to see the team undervalue the man who keeps them afloat when all else fails and gives them their only win in a season. I don't think Ferrari ever expected Carlos to be so competitive and push il Predestinado the way he has, and now it's bit awkward for them. But the fact is that Ferrari have now gone all in on Charles with this 5-year deal, and now they have no choice but to make every other decision around that. It makes sense that they would offer just a 1-year extension if Carlos is asking for 2 years because they know a 2-year contract would be no more meaningful than a 1-year if other teams are seriously interested in Carlos. If Audi (or McLaren, if Lando leaves) really want to get Carlos for 2026, they will have no qualms about swooping in during the 2025 silly season to buy Ferrari out of Carlos’s last contract year. They know what they have with Carlos even if they aren't going to publicly recognize it, so it's in Ferrari’s best interest to keep their options open for shopping if they don’t want to risk being caught out dry in 2026.

But let’s forget all that and talk about the most interesting part of all this to me: that Carlos asked for something as short as a 2-year extension. He knows Charles is getting 5 years, so why?

This tells me that Carlos has finally begun to lose faith that Ferrari is the best place for him. That’s a pretty damn big deal, because—although this gets overshadowed by Charles’s love story with the Scuderia—Carlos’s passion for Ferrari and the Tifosi is no small thing. I think he smiled bigger on the third step of the podium at Monza than he did at Silverstone for his maiden win. Winning a WDC with Ferrari is (or was) his life’s dream.

But maybe 2023–his best year ever—is what Carlos needed to stop ignoring the writings on the wall. Maybe he’s starting to admit to himself that he’s never going to get the support (or competence) he needs from Ferrari to achieve his dreams. Maybe he's understanding that he's found success not because of Ferrari, but in spite of them.

Carlos is too good to be a No. 2 driver. We know it, Ferrari definitely knows it (and that’s their problem), and—most importantly—Carlos knows it. Ferrari can go ahead and search for someone this talented who's also willing to roll over and be their next Rubens Barrichello. Because it sure as hell won’t be Carlos Sainz, Jr.

do i think lando could spend his entire career at mclaren? oh yeah definitely one hundred percent. the odds of carlos finishing his career at mclaren? i think the odds are so extremely high. and if i get that, if it’s the future we get; picture it. complete equals that care about each other too much to fuck each other over and who are competitive enough to always drive faster. no longer boys, but grown men who know each other inside and out.

orange and blue again, walking past the glass of the mtc again, side by side; clockwork. so in tune with each other that it terrifies the veterans of the sport. what they feared before, teammates with such loyalty to each other that it burns the world twice over. that they push each other over the line, when the only real competition is between them. carlos doesn’t guide lando through the sport now, he allows lando to show him what he’s become. they bask in it, hedonistic and unforgivingly themselves. damn the world, it can’t fathom this.

oscar's answer of lando being a golf player.. beaten by carlos when asked what would lando be if not for a formula one driver. which directly implies that oscar believes that even if they weren't racing together, they'd find a way to find each other in a completely different sport unrelated to motorsports altogether.
