La stable di Whole grained is ever closer to giving a seat to the young talent of thealpine, Oscar piastri starting from 2023. Williams e Alpine however, they could carry on another exchange, given the last disappointing years of the first. There Formula 1 you are approaching at the summer break. Just in these weeks important news should arrive from the FIA, on the front motor, and on new builders which they will enter Circus from 2026, together Audi e Porsche. With the new one competition and the end of the partnerships Mercedes in 2025, Williams would need an alternative to be already in the pipeline, in order not to arrive unprepared in the era of the new Power Units.
THEarrival of Piastri, instead of Latifs, could therefore only be the tip of the iceberg, of a longer range vision that would lead Williams in a specific direction: enstone.
End of partnership with Mercedes?
At the moment the Formula 1 has an audience of four motorists: Mercedes, Ferrari, Renault e Honda/Red Bull. Of these Mercedes is the brand that offers its products to more customers: 3, beyond the stable of the parent company. There Williams comes back together McLaren e Aston Martin in the Mercedes customer teams, who would like, however, to sever relations with at least one of these. The decision would be due to the economic disadvantage caused by the introduction of budget cap.
The partnership that binds the Williams to the Mercedes it is the longest-lived one and dates back to 2014, the year the hybrid debuted. But the advantage after the first few years it started to fade, carrying large difficulties to the English stable. Of the other three teams present as engineers only one does not yet have a customer team. And that might just come into play too before 2026, if the Mercedes should he decide to to interrupt i relationships with a customer team before purchasing, of the aforementioned year.
A return to Renault
Renault it has no customer team, especially useful for collecting data on Power Units, something Red Bull does with AlphaTauri for example. There Williams, was discarded by the Mercedes, would be free to welcome back i Renault engines, already used in the 90s, marked by major successes of the English stable, world champion in both the constructors' and drivers' championships.
Renault, therefore, according to what the journalist reports Joe Saward, he might want to offer his precious diamond, Oscar Piastri in function of an additional swap, on the motoring front, which can lead to the French team the benefits of a client team, after years of meager independence.
