Eddie Jordan believe🗹s that Carlos Sainz’s contract with Williams will include a clause enabling him to move to a bigger team.

Willꦚiams completed the major signing of🍬 outgoing Ferrari driver Sainz for 2025 and beyond, beating Sauber and Alpine to his signature.

James Vowles, the Williams team principal, moved quickly to quell speculation about a release clause sho♓uld Red Bull 🤡or Mercedes come calling for Sainz.

"There ♒are precisely 10 people in the world෴ that know what the interior of the contract holds,” Vowles insisted, while promising that Sainz is committed long-term.

However, that hasn’t stopped F1 veteran Jordan wondering if some smallprint💎 in the deal might allow Sainz to change his mind.

“He has been fantastic at Ferrari,” Jordan said on his For𓃲m👍ula For Success YouTube channel.

“This is✨ a very strong statement by Williams to secure his services, 🌠a major coup.

“But I’m sure it’s not without little issues. Carlos woꦚuld have preferred to be with McLaren, Red Bull, certainly Mercedes.

“I can be🥃 for 💜sure, knowing Carlos’ dad, that there will some sort of release clause.

“Or some way Carlos could get ꦗout, if something maღssive comes in front of him.

“At this moment, tha🅷t is going to happen. We need to see how the season unfolds nex🔯t year.

“For now, it gives me encouragement becau🦩se I love drivers being up against each other. I’m a huge fan of Albon.

“I think they are brilliantly paired. The advantage m꧟ust be with Sainz🌊, a three-time grand prix winner.

“Next year,💯 if Williams can𒉰 make a podium, it would such a joy.

“I🍸n my day, racing as a♕ driver and a team, Williams were an unbelievable outfit. They were mind-blowing.

“Adria🌸n Newey was the brain for how their car unfol🥃ded.

“Would we like📖 to see Williams get back to near where they were? It wo𓄧uld such a joy.”

Sainz and Alb🉐on will form an exciting duo next ye🃏ar.
