Jenson Button has backed Carlos Sainz for looking for the most competitive seat he can in the immediate term for his next move, after he leaves Ferrari at the end of the year.
His name has been mentioned by both Christian Horner and Toto Wolff at different times as a potential candidate for their uncontracted seats next season, which in theory would offer him a more competitive option in the short term than a long-term project at Sauber and Audi that would build the team around him.
“You know, he’s in a position his career where he’s been around for a little while now, and he’s the only other person to win in the last 23 races apart from Max,” Button told Sky Sports F1 in Miami, prior to Lando Norris taking victory and breaking Sainz’s statistical hold as the only non-Verstappen winner in almost a calendar year.“He doesn’t want to wait for another sort of three or four years to be in a seat at Audi that could be competitive, so I think he’s doing the right thing.
“Oh, for sure, my Dad you will always hear him say good things about Audi, the project and how confident he is that Audi will make it to the top in Formula 1,” he said.
