AmuS apparently reached out to both Ferrari and Mercedes, and neither of them would deny it, which speaks volumes imho. I agree it's just a rumor at this point, but there is strong evidence to it being true.
There are speculations that this rumor is managed by FOM, or at least it's orchestrated by someone from inside F1, so we don't speak about Andretti. If this is the case Merc and Ferrari are definitely in it, so they will just play along, and don't say anything.
The full premise is stupid why would anyone speak about seats for 2025 before 2024 even started. If it would be true, it would ruin the morale of Merc, and Sainz, how could you race a full season knowing nothing matters because you will move. This type of rumors usually start at the second half of the season, during summer break not winter break.

didn't Sainz sign for Ferrari before the 2020 season started? Tbf there was the whole Covid situation going on, but still.

Shocking news!
Also perfect timing to overshadow the Andretti snub.
Wasnt expecting that but mixes things up a bit! Hamilton now on Vettel trajectory?
Wow, never thought it was going to happen. Haven’t followed F1 in two years but this news can change that.
