Formula-1: Carlos Sainz signs for Williams
Ferrari's Carlos Sainz has committed his future to Williams.
He’ll race for the team for 2025 and 2026, giving Williams continuity across a major regulation change.
Sainz has been on the look-out for a seat for 2025 after losing his Ferrari drive to seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton.
"I am very happy to announce that I will be joining Williams Racing from 2025 onwards," said Sainz. "It is no secret that this year’s driver market has been exceptionally complex for various reasons and that it has taken me some time to announce my decision.
However, I am fully confident that Williams is the right place for me to continue my F1 journey and I am extremely proud of joining such a historic and successful team, where many of my childhood heroes drove in the past and made their mark on our sport. The ultimate goal of bringing Williams back to where it belongs, at the front of the grid, is a challenge that I embrace with excitement and positivity".
