Carlos Sainz is set to join Williams starting from the 2025 season following Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari. The future of the Spaniard in Formula 1 has been uncertain, but he took his time before making a decision. Throughout the season, Sainz was considered by several top teams, but he ultimately chose to sign with Williams.
Although Audi presented a tempting offer to Sainz after his departure from Ferrari, his chance to join Alpine changed the game. Nevertheless, rumors of Sainz’s negotiations with Williams persisted, and he ultimately decided to join the Grove-based team.
In a breaking announcement, it has been confirmed that Carlos Sainz will be racing for Williams starting from 2025. This multi-year deal comes as the new regulations for the 2026 season have been released, indicating that Williams must have presented a promising future for the 29-year-old driver. Sainz will compete as a Williams driver in the 2025 season alongside his teammate.
Sainz had previously expressed his lack of urgency in making contractual decisions, but he is now pleased to announce his multi-year agreement with Williams Racing. The driver market in the 2024 season was complex, with numerous opportunities available. Despite this, Sainz believes that Williams Racing is the right place for him to continue his journey in Formula 1. He is proud to join a team with a rich heritage and history in the sport, and his goal is to bring Williams back to their former winning ways.
As a result of Sainz’s arrival, Logan Sargeant will be immediately replaced at Williams after the 2024 season. Sargeant’s declining performances played a significant role in this decision. Overall, this situation is highly exciting for Sainz and his fans in the Formula 1 world.
