Confirmed: Carlos Sainz Jr. joins Ferrari for 2021 season on a two-year deal

It was confirmed on Thursday (14/5/20), that McLaren driver Carlos Sainz, Jr. has signed a two-year deal to replace Sebastian Vettel at Ferrari from the 2021 season, alongside Charles Leclerc, completing the manufacturer's driver line-up for 2021.



Vettel announced on Tuesday that he will leave Ferrari at the end of the season.



Last season Sainz, Jr. finished sixth in the Drivers' Standings with ninety-six points, with his best race finish of third place at Brazil in 2019.

In my opinion, this is not a big surprise this news happen. It has been strongly rumoured since the news of Vettel was leaving Ferrari.
