As a seasoned F1 enthusiast with memories of cheering for my childhood heroes adorned on Williams’ racing suits, I find myself brimming with excitement at the news of Carlos Sainz Jr. joining the team for the 2025 and 2026 seasons. After four years of witnessing his grit and determination at Ferrari, I can’t help but feel that this move is a perfect fit.
In case you missed it, Carlos Sainz has officially joined the Formula 1 team of Williams. After spending four years with Ferrari, the 29-year-old is moving to the British squad following the loss of his position to seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton.
It’s not surprising that Sainz has been searching for a new team since the official announcement, as he confirmed his decision to join Williams Racing from 2025 and 2026. Despite stiff competition from teams like Sauber/Audi, Alpine, and others, Williams secured Sainz’s services. In a statement, Sainz expressed his delight at this new opportunity, acknowledging the complexity of this year’s driver market and the time it took to make his decision. He emphasized his confidence in Williams as the ideal place for him to continue his Formula 1 journey, praising its rich history and successful past. His goal is to help bring Williams back to its former glory, a challenge he embraces with optimism. Sainz thanked James Vowles and the entire Williams board for their trust and determination, acknowledging that their strong leadership and convictions were crucial factors in his decision-making process. He also highlighted his belief in the team’s people and culture, looking forward to joining them from next year.
When Sainz moves to Williams, it’s clear that Logan Sargeant will be giving up his position at the team. During his tenure at Ferrari, Sainz clinched three victories and finished on the podium 23 times across a total of 196 races.
