Carlos Sainz perplexed by Red Bull F1 call: ‘I don't understand why'
Carlos Sainz admits he 'did not understand' why Red Bull opted not to sign him for the 2025 F1 season amid rumoured tension between the Spaniard and Max Verstappen. Spanish driver Sainz was initially without a seat for this year after Lewis Hamilton joined Ferrari, and eventually moved to Williams to partner Alex Albon. Yet both Mercedes and Red Bull – who had second driver Sergio Perez underperforming throughout the 2024 season – opted not to pursue Sainz. The 30-year-old was teammates with a 17-year-old Verstappen at Red Bull's sister team, Toro Rosso, in 2015 and the pair clashed as they both started on their F1 journey. Yet Sainz insisted their relationship is now cordial. 'The only thing I can say is I genuinely get on well with Max,' Sainz told The High Performance podcast. 'This is what people don't see from the outside. Like, we had a rivalry in our first year in Formula 1 in Toro Rosso, but it was a relatively healthy rivalry in terms of him and me, the way we used to go about racing. And now we get on really well. 'So, if that's the reason [Red Bull didn't sign me], I don't understand why they wouldn't want me next to Max, because I think we would actually be a very strong pairing in Formula 1.' Perez was dropped after the 2024 season for Liam Lawson, who lasted only two races this season before being replaced by Yuki Tsunoda. Yet Tsunoda, in his fifth F1 season, has also struggled to perform as Verstappen's teammate – a continuing trend at Red Bull. 'I think everyone's having a really tough time being Max's teammate,' Sainz added. 'I can only say that when I was Max's teammate, I didn't have this tough time. 'I was obviously incredibly surprised with how quick he was, with how he's an insane driver. I mean, he's going to go out to be one of the best ever in history, if he's not already one. But that first year together, since then, has given me the confidence to know I can be up against anyone.' Sainz is currently 15th in the drivers' championship on 13 points, 33 points off teammate Alex Albon. The next race of the season is this weekend at Spa-Francorchamps with the Belgian Grand Prix.

Nigeria enters race to host F1 grand prix in Africa – with ex-Premier League player fronting bid
Nigeria has become the latest African country to declare an interest in hosting a Formula 1 race, with ex-Premier League player Marvin Sordell fronting the bid. F1 currently hosts a race on every habitable continent apart from Africa, with the last iteration taking place 32 years ago via the 1993 South African Grand Prix at the Kyalami Circuit outside Johannesburg. Yet now, South Africa (with Kyalami and Cape Town vying to host), Rwanda and Morocco have all announced their intention to launch a bid. Now, Nigeria have joined the list, with Opus Race Promotions eyeing a new circuit in the capital of Abuja, alongside a karting track, hotels and a motorsport museum. Ex-Burnley and Bolton forward Sordell, who also played for Great Britain at the London 2012 Olympics, is co-chief executive of the promotional company which has now been officially appointed to negotiate on behalf of the Nigerian government with F1 and the FIA. A report in The Times states that the bid has 'early support' from the Nigerian government. F1 chief executive Stefano Domenicali, who has made it known his desire to host a race once again in Africa, has been invited to visit Abuja to take a look at the project. Shehu Dikko, chairman of the National Sports Commission in Nigeria, said: 'We are exploring all possibilities to bring Formula 1 to Nigeria as soon as practicable. 'Not just as a sporting event, but as a catalytic driver of tourism, infrastructure development, youth engagement, economy and indeed soft power for Nigeria. 'This vision aligns with the Renewed Hope and Shared Prosperity vision of our president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.' Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton has previously insisted the sport must make an African grand prix a priority. Speaking last year, the Ferrari driver said: 'We can't be adding races in other locations and continuing to ignore Africa, which the rest of the world just takes from. 'No one gives anything to Africa.' The race calendar is currently set at 24 races – a figure F1 nor the drivers are keen to increase. Yet the Dutch Grand Prix will be wiped from the calendar after next year's event, with Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium moving to a biennial deal in 2028, potentially paving the way for a new race. Other interested parties to host a race include Thailand (with a Bangkok street circuit in the works), South Korea and Argentina.
