Father Sainz to Ford for Dakar: Is the door to Audi now closed for Sainz Jr.?

There are many rumours surrounding Carlos Sainz's future at the moment. The Ferrari driver is leaving Ferrari after the current season, so he will have to look for a new seat. At Audi, the Spaniard is a top contender for a seat, partly because his father drove for the German car manufacturer. That has changed, as Ford have announced that Carlos Sainz Sr. will drive the Dakar rally for the US team in 2025.
