Carlos Sainz on settling with Williams Racing for the 2025 season
Carlos Sainz's tenure with Ferrari ended after the Italian outfit signed Lewis Hamilton for the 2025 season. He was associated with top teams like Red Bull Racing and Mercedes but finally signed a contract with Williams Racing.
While Williams's performance is the opposite compared to where Ferrari was running in the championship, Sainz would prove a strong driver for the outfit.

Sainz also revealed that he initially focused on choosing the team with the strongest base (via F1):
"At the beginning, when I was having to take such an important decision, I was very focused on which team was going to be quicker in 2025, who was generating more downforce, who is finding out stuff that is going to make them quicker. Finally, I realised that my decision had to be based on two things: the project and the people.
When I started discussing more in detail, I realised that Williams had put together a very strong project here, a team with a vision, with a project that I think is going to bring this team back to the front."
Carlos Sainz is set to partner Alex Albon at Williams in 2025. Both drivers have proved their competence in the past and could bring the team their well-needed points this season.
