So, Smooth Operator fans, Carlos Sainz just opened up about those Mercedes rumors after King Lewis shocked the paddock with his Ferrari switch. Turns out, Sainz was never really close to landing that Silver Arrow seat—despite plenty of chats with Toto. Instead, Mercedes went all-in on young gun Kimi Antonelli. Sainz admits if Toto was keen, he’d have called sooner. Now, Carlos is grinding at Williams, but trailing Albon in both points and qualifying. Did Mercedes make the right call, or did they miss out on Sainz’s experience? #Sports #Racing #F1
