Sainz is a great driver and Ferrari screwed him, but that doesn't mean any team, especially redbull, owe him anything. He and his dad pissed off people at redbull years ago.
Perez has stated that he and redbull are already in contract negotiations. He's finished 2nd in every race apart from the one where his team noted that he lost a significant amount of downforce. Perez comes with a lot of sponsors, and Sainz would likely demand a higher salary, so why swap drivers if the results will be the same?
Sainz should be aiming for Ham's seat at Merc, or Stroll's seat at AM. Redbull is a low probability case, imo. Only if Perez starts binning himself/others into the wall again.
