Carlos Sainz has begun his new journey with Williams. The Madrid-born pilot, who has accumulated 4 victories, 6 poles, and 27 podiums since joining the top-level racing circuit, faces the exciting challenge of helping a classic Formula 1 team return to the top. Sainz was forced to leave Ferrari after the team signed Lewis Hamilton, and in his new adventure, he will need to utilize his skills to shine as he has done in the past.
Throughout his decade in the elite motoring world, Sainz has been characterized by his rigor and solvency. His new boss, James Vowles, confirms this, expressing delight that Sainz will be partnering with Alex Albon in the 2025 campaign. Vowles has witnessed Sainz’s dedication and work ethic, which will be essential in helping Williams succeed.
Vowles has expressed his satisfaction with Sainz’s performance, stating, “He is enjoying it. It could be seen from the moment he got into the car in Abu Dhabi. His mind changed. This is where he wants to be, this is what he wants to do, it is part of our success story.” The team leader has also highlighted the importance of Sainz’s contribution, along with Alex Albon’s, in advancing the team’s progress.
Building on his impressive career
Sainz has a rich background in Formula 1, having driven for teams such as Toro Rosso, Renault, McLaren, and Ferrari. Now, he has embarked on a new project with Williams, a team that has not experienced the thrill of victory in a long time. The last time Williams won a race was in 2012, when Pastor Maldonado took the top spot in Montmeló. Sainz is well aware of the challenges that lie ahead, but his impeccable trajectory and dedication to success make him an invaluable asset to the team.
According to Vowles, Sainz’s work ethic and dedication to success will be crucial in helping the team advance. “Sainz does not leave a stone without stirring. You can check it in all the teams he has been in. He is a diligent worker who brings success, and obviously, he wants us to succeed,” Vowles said. With Sainz on board, Williams is poised to make significant strides in the upcoming season.
