On the first day of the summer break, Carlos Sainz finally announced his future: starting in 2025, he will be a Williams driver. Although moving from a top team to a backmarker team is a significant step back, the contract offered by Vowles, both financially and in terms of technical aspects and clauses, outmatched the competition from Alpine and Audi. After this news, we can expect a new phase of the championship from the Spaniard, who now finds himself free from other pressures and bureaucratic issues; he is now free to give 100% for Ferrari, as Damon Hill pointed out.
“From now on, it will be easier for him. His mind will be calmer, and he will be able to continue doing what he loves. He will enjoy every moment of this adventure because it is special to be a Ferrari driver. He will probably be able to win more races, and he will want them at all costs. This is what I experienced when I left Williams. I had won the title, and I was like, ‘Yes, I’ll take it with me, thank you very much,'” said the Formula One world champion, laughing, on the F1 Nation podcast.
