Max rejected the mega offer then. Toto has to fill in 1 year as Max isn’t interested to join next year.
What do you think they will do? My thinking is that they should sign Sainz on 1 year.
It would benefit Merc as he's a solid driver and currently available. Would deliver decent results, probably about as quick as George . Antonelli or Max may be ready come 2026
Sainz can hope to retain the Merc seat if Antonelli isn't ready/ Max doesnt want the seat, or perhaps take Max's place at RB if Verstappen wishes to get out of there.
Maybe a 1-year contract for Merc isn't as appealing as multi-year at Sauber.. but having to drive for Stake F1 team in 2025 would be demeaning
