As the 2025 Formula 1 season approaches, one of the most significant developments is Carlos Sainz’s move from Ferrari to the historic Williams team. This transition marks a new chapter in Sainz’s career, making him the fourth driver in history to have driven for the three most successful teams in the sport, following in the footsteps of Jacky Ickx, Nigel Mansell, and Alain Prost.

Sainz’s First Impressions with Williams
Sainz’s first outing with Williams took place at the Yas Marina post-season test, where he completed 146 laps with the FW46 car. His initial impressions were positive, and he was able to get accustomed to the new car and transmit his sensations to the team. He also had the opportunity to try out the 2025 Pirelli tires.
It’s crazy. It’s a completely different car, from the accelerator to the steering.

Williams is a team that has struggled in recent years, scoring points only six times in the 2024 season. Sainz’s arrival marks a new chapter for the team, and he is expected to play a key role in their resurgence. His objective is clear: to raise the level of the team and return them to prestigious positions.
