Eddie Jordan has backed himself to fix Ferrari after years of pain and frustration for the long-suffering Tifosi.

“If I was the boss there, I would create, without doubt, something in the way that Michael [Schumacher] created,” Jordan said.

Jordan went on to question Ferrari’s lengthy lunch breaks as part of their wider philosophy and also made the suggestion that the Scuderia should actually move away from their Maranello base and focus on operating out of the UK again.

He added: “I think just Ferrari is the one that jumps out at you. They are just not performing to the level or the expectation that people either want them to do, or that people know that they can do. And they’re a brilliant outfit, but they’re different.

“They stopped for lunch for an hour and a half, just the whole philosophy of the place is…don’t get me on my high horse!

Sainz and Ferrari find no agreement in terms of contract: 'Eyes on Norris?'  (You & every other team)

While Charles Leclerc seems to be on course for a contract until 2028, Ferrari has so far failed to find an agreement with Sainz for a contract period. Sainz wants a two-year contract, but he has seemingly only had an one-year offer.

The Ferrari drivers often meet on track and are evenly matched. They have been teammates at Ferrari since 2021. In this same year, the Spaniard finished above his teammate in the drivers' standings. In subsequent years, Leclerc finished above Sainz. Yet Sainz, as the only non-Red Bull driver, managed to win a race in 2023. Despite these results, Leclerc still seems to be a step ahead of Sainz within Ferrari.

La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the Monegasque is on course to extend his contract for five years, with a starting salary of €50 million. The contract is said to further include an escape clause that will apply from the third year.

Eyes on Norris

For Sainz, things look less rosy. He has indicated that he would like a two-year deal, but the team from Maranello has so far only made a one-year offer. The team apparently also has their eye on Mclaren's Lando Norris. After 2025, his contract expires and Ferrari may see opportunities to bring in the Brit. There are also speculations that Sainz could move to Audi in the future.
