As reported by Motorsport, Leclerc revealed how he feels about the new contract extension for Carlos Sainz, saying:

As reported by Sky Sports, Ferrari team boss Mattia Binotto claimed that Carlos Sainz’s pairing with Charles Leclerc will largely influence the team’s future and expected success. Binotto said:

Ferrari had one of the strongest driver pairings on the grid in the 2021 season, which certainly played a significant role in solidifying a third-place finish for the team in the constructors’ standings. While Carlos Sainz has been slightly lagging this year, he has another twenty races to make up for the gap to his teammate.

Mick Schumacher responds to Carlos Sainz’s contract extension

Mick Schumacher has been a part of the Ferrari Driver Academy for a long time, and is one of the two reserve drivers for the team this season. The German, however, will have to wait at least another two years to make his Ferrari dream come true, given the Spaniard’s new contract.

As reported by PlanetF1, the Haas driver revealed that this outcome was expected given the 27-year-old’s stellar performance in 2021. Claiming that he will continue to do his best with the opportunities given to him, Schumacher said:

AlphaTauri team boss Franz Tost also has previously claimed that the German is not ready to drive for the Prancing Horse just yet, given his lack of experience.
