Now that we have reached the summer break, thesilly season” has finally come into its own. According to rumors from Germany, one of the main protagonists of this year's drivers' market seems to have found a place for 2025. We're talking about Carlos Sainz which, after being compared to different teams, seems to have chosen the team captained by James Vowles: the Williams.
Has Carlos Sainz chosen Williams for 2025?
The first episode of the soap opera “Where will Sainz go in 2025?” it aired last February. The bomb of passage of the seven-time World Champion, Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari at the end of the season that had yet to begin he did the first questions arise about the future of the Spanish driver.
A "cliff-hanger" that lasted almost half the season, the one relating to the next destination of the current number #55 of the Scuderia di Maranello. But a soap opera, by definition, must end with a happy ending and it seems that this moment has arrived for Sainz too. According to what was reported by the German newspaper F1-insider, Carlos would finally have surrendered to the court ruthless made by James vowles to bring the Madrilenian to Williams.
There are now few doubts about the future of the Madrid native
There no longer seems to be any doubts: Carlos Sainz would have chosen the team founded by Sir Frank Williams and Sir Patrick Head for 2025. During the weekend on the circuit of Spa-Francorchamps they are even emerged with Photos which portray Carlos Sainz Sr. and Carlos Onoro (manager of the Cavallino driver) as they leave the hospitality of the English team.
It seems that a Wantage have accepted le conditions imposed from Spanish. Give it stipendio – which hovers around the 10 million of euros – to competitiveness of the single-seater guaranteed by the Power Unit supplied by Mercedes. The contract also contains a "freedom" clause which will allow Sainz to back out of any deal if he gets the chance to drive a Red Bull or Mercedes car.
Considering the bond between the team principal of Williams and Toto Wolff, Sainz could benefit from a preferential access lane for the second seat in Mercedes. This could happen in /// in which the Brackley stables decided to expect to put the young Italian in the car Andrea Kimi Antonelli. Currently however, given the numerous tests that the driver now involved in Formula 2 with Prema is carrying out, thethe impression is that Wolff does not want to hesitate in giving the W16 to Antonelli.
