Carlos Sainz already speaking as Williams driver

A few hours after the announcement, very clear resolutions come.

Carlos Sainz will restart at Williams in 2025, after four seasons at Ferrari and a farewell to the Prancing Horse that will materialize at the end of the current championship to make way for Lewis Hamilton. And the Spaniard, a few hours after his future has been made official, has already shown great conviction about his chances of doing well away from Maranello.

"I am very happy to announce that from 2025 I will be joining Williams – è was Sainz’s statement -. It is no secret to say that this year’s driver market has been particularly complicated due to several reasons. This has led me to take some time to announce my future, but today I am fully convinced that I have made the right decision".

"I am so proud to join a historic stable like Williams, which has achieved great success and where so many of my childhood heroes have driven in the past. The goal è to bring the team to the place it deserves, at the top of the grid. I welcome this challenge with great optimism, and I am convinced that the conditions are there to make history again".

"From January 1° next I will give it my all to take Williams to the top. The name of this stable è synonymous with tradition, racing soul, and we will work on the basis of a very solid project. I look forward to joining this group starting next year,” Sainz concluded.
