Carlos Sainz Jr from Spain, who currently drives for Ferrari, is about to move to Williams for the 2025 season. This announcement comes after Ferrari’s decision to hire Lewis Hamilton, a seven-time champion, as their driver for the next season, leaving Sainz without a seat. Despite his hopes of joining Red Bull being frustrated and Mercedes focusing on Andrea Kimi Antonelli, Sainz received a lucrative offer from Sauber, which will become an official Audi team in 2026. However, Williams also emerged as a competitor when discussions between Sainz’s group and team boss James Vowles took place. Sainz will join current Williams driver Alex Albon, who recently signed a multi-year contract extension. Under Vowles’ leadership, Williams finished seventh in the Constructors’ Championship last season, but has faced difficulties this year due to an overweight car and lack of parts. Vowles is determined to revitalize the team and bring Williams back to the top of Formula 1. He has actively sought Sainz and hinted at the arrival of other high-profile drivers in the near future. Williams also hopes to have one of the best power units in the 2026 season and has gathered talent from other teams to strengthen its organization. When asked about his opinion on Sainz joining the team, Albon stated that he is not concerned about his teammate and is focused on the long-term development of the team. He also mentioned that his relationship with Sainz is no different from his relationship with other drivers.
