Carlos Sainz This will be one of the big attractions of the next Formula 1 World Cup. The Madrid native, after having shone at McLaren And at Ferrariwill set sail to Williams after the “Scuderia” was left without a place after the renewal of Charles Leclerc and the signature of Lewis Hamilton.
He is having one of his best seasons, but that does not allow him to be a midfielder in a team that is a priori competitive for next year. However, there is something in Williams’ project that managed to seduce Sainz.
Maybe because its Mercedes engine. Maybe because of the big investments they are making for 2026. Maybe because of everything. Maybe also, by James Vowles, boss of the British brand and a big supporter of Carlos in his new team.
Sainz, at the Yas Marina tests?
He bet a lot on the arrival of Sainz, and in the end he ended up beating more powerful teams like Alpine and also a team like Sauber, which will be Audi from 2026.
Vowles now has a request, a wish that will depend on Ferrari: “We still have to get there to an agreement with them because he has a contract.
“But I hope to see Sainz in our car in Abu Dhabi”he said in comments reported in ‘RacingNews 365’.
It wouldn’t be the first, because Fernando Alonso was already there to Aston Martin in 2022 when he still had a contract with Alpine.
