Drivers
Carlos Sainz
- Team Williams
- Date of birth 01/09/1994
- Place of birth Madrid, Spain
- Debut Australia, 2015 (Toro Rosso)
There were logical reasons for other teams to sign the multi-time Grand Prix winner for 2025, but they didn’t or couldn’t because of drivers in their talent pipelines, or dithering about making decisions that seemed obvious. Sainz stayed patient, did his research, and took the plunge.
Yes, Sainz is overqualified for the team he now calls home; how soon he’s able to bring Williams to his level and then build promises to be one of F1’s more fascinating subplots.
