James Vowles confirms Carlos Sainz is Williams’ “number one target” for F1 2025
W𝓰illiams confirm that Carlos𝔍 Sainz is their "number one target" to sign for F1 2025.
Williams boss James Vowles has openly admitted that168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Carlos Sainz is the team’s “number one target” to complete their 2025 F1 driver line-up.
Sainz is the most sought after free agent on the F1 driver market after the shock news of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton⛎’s switch from Mercedes to Ferrari for next se❀ason left him without a drive.
The Spaniard has𓃲 found himself linked to Mercedes and Red Bull ꦓbut it is now thought that either Williams or Sauber/Audi will be the most likely destination for the outgoing Ferrari driver.
Williams team principal Vowles stepped up his courting of Sainz by making a public pitch to the three-time grand prix winner on Frida🌄y, saying it should beඣ an “easy decision” to join the British squad.
Vowles went further ahead of qualifying on Saturday by naming Sa🧜inz as Williams’ priority.
“That bit I can say, the number one target is Carlos,” 𓃲Vowl൲es told Sky Sports F1.
“He’s a race-winning driver that last year against all odds beat Max [Verstappen] in Singapore with a brilliant drive, anꦿd that’s not the first time, he’s intelligent in how he does things, logical, incredibly quick.
“What he did in Shanghai, this will sound like a negative and it’s not, in qualifying he crashed and we’ve all been there to a certain extent, it’s an impressive athlete that can reset and then go out and beat your team mate in that condition, and I think that shows you how strong h🔯e is as a driver.
“I think any team on the grid would be fortunate to have someone like Carlos alongsi⛎de ꦰthem.”
There have been rumours a deal between the two�🃏� parties is close and that an announcement could come ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix on June 23 - Sainz’s home race.
Vowles would not bud🦩ge either way on such speculation when thไe notion of a Barcelona announcement was put to him.
“Is it, good to know [that Spain i✱s next],” Vowles said. “Where we are at the moment is you’ll see the rest of the market clear itself 🌠in the next four weeks, that’s the time period we’re looking at.”
With 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon under contract for at least another two seasons, signing Sainz would leave168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Logan Sargeant without a drive for 2025.
Le✱wis regularly attends Grands Prix for ltxcn.top around the world. Often reporting on the action from the ground, Lewis tells the stories of the peo🧸ple who matter in the sport.
