The longer he waits in hoping to show how good he is will allow him a better seat all while they get filled or taken by those quick to make decisions.

It's in Sainz's best interests to get signed ASAP, now that the enjoys wind in his sails and good vibes.
As the season moves on, as long as he doesn't get a contract, more races require him to keep demonstrating consistency in race pace and good results. The longer the 'beauty contest' lasts, the more effort it takes to keep the party going to remain 'attractive' for F1 team bosses. That wouldn't be a problem is he's a super talent race driver. But he ain't (he's very good, but not exceptional like some).
