Sainz largely matched his teammate in the early part of last year, but then made a few mistakes towards the end of last year (he is allowed I suppose, being a rookie). He also has not started this season particularly strongly.

Ferrari have the budget and lure to tempt the very best drivers in the world.
Is Sainz good enough for F1? - yes.
Is he one of the top 5 or 6 drivers in F1? - no.
Will he get a Ferrari seat - no. There are plenty people ahead of him in the queue, including a certain Mr Grosjean.
