It will be interesting come season end if Sainz finishes the season higher in point standings than LeClerc!

Would be even more interesting if fans learnt how to spell drivers' names correctly!
According to my best knowledge it is Charles Leclerc (so without the second capital). But your question is a logical question.
Based on the first races I think Carlos Sainz could well be the Ferrari driver with most points. But this leads to the another question: "Is the driver with most point in a team always the best driver?"
In my opinion Carlos is the more aggressive rider, but I can well imagine that Charles contributes more to the team, because he give more usable feedback to the team. But this is just guessing as we are not part of the team and only see things form the outside.
But at least I'm happy that Ferrari allows their drivers to go for it at the circuit. And so far both Charles and Carlos handle this somewhat odd situation quite mature.
And the way Carlos is currently driving will most probably ensure he will have a seat next year.
Cheers,

It seems Carlos gets along with the SF24 better than Leclerc at the moment. Good for him.
Would love to see Carlos next to Max next year, or perhaps taking Hamilton's seat at Mercedes. But in his current form, Carlos is an interesting option for every team.
And he's apparently still on Audi's short list for 2026, and I'm not impressed by either Zhou or Bottas this season...

Then there's the Vettel/Mercedes thing.....
BTW, 2024-2025 silly season will most likely be interesting indeed! My guess is there will be big surprise announcements next summer, which might involve some pretty big names.
I hope/imagine that Lawrence Stroll will have a blinding flash of common sense and give Lance the bullet and sign Carlos.
Now Fernando and Carlos would be a great pairing.
Sadly Liam Lawson will replace Danni Ric......while Yuki-San will remain the oldest RB 'Young Driver'.......

I realise that Roxy but if 'Sonny Stroll' continues as the series clown 🤡 as well as causing the 'Business' to hemorrhage money even a Numpty like 'Daddy Stroll' should realise the cold hard truth.
Lawrence Stroll might 'own' the team, but his major shareholder should be highly annoyed at the halfhearted efforts of the incumbent in the #2 car.
Fernando is doing all the heavy lifting.
HONDA to power Aston Martin from 2026?
Yuki-San should be part of the package, he is Honda's protege.

I think the Saudis will have more than a few words to say about that.
Lawrence Stroll is supposedly a smart businessman, one who made it into the rarified atmosphere of the 'Billionaires.
If the Saudis own Aston Martin with the exception of the F1 team and Stroll Senior is the CEO/Owner of AMR who is responsible for the drivers (forgot where I read that) he might find that Arab Oil Money sponsorship drying up.
Stroll Junior is never going to be anything more than a mediocre 'Pay Driver.'
Always was, always will be!
