erstappen rules out Ricciardo move to Ferrari Max Verstappen suggested on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila) that Carlos Sainz would replace Sebastian Vettel at Ferrari after saying he didn’t think Daniel Ricciardo would move to the Italian Formula One outfit next season. Asked by former F1 racer David Coulthard whether the seat would go to an Italian sounding name or a Spanish sounding name, in reference to Ricciardo and McLaren driver Sainz, Verstappen said: “I think it’s not going to be the Italian sounding name.”“Let’s see. Ricciardo, 30, has won seven Grand Prixs during his F1 career, while 25-year-old Sainz is yet to win a single race. I saw some questions coming along if I was going to Ferrari, but I’m not,” he said. Last year Vettel was time and again put in the shade by Leclerc, the prodigious talent who is 10 years his junior and entering his second season with Ferrari.
