168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz has ramped up his preparations for his debut F1 season with Williams in a private test in Spain.

The Spaniard piloted the team’s 2023 c⛦ar - the FW45 - a෴t the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on Sunday to rack up more mileage as Williams took the opportunity to help get Sainz up to speed with some TPC (Testing of Previous Cars) running.

Under F1’s revised TPC rules, drivers competing in the world championship are limited to 1,000km spread 🎀over a maximum of four 🅺test days over the course of the season.

Similarly, Ferrari have capitalised on TPC rules to help168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton gear up for his first campaign with the Scuderi🦄a after the seven-time world champion replaced Sainz for 2025. 

Unlike Hamilton, Sainz was able to made an early debut for Williams in the post-season test in Abu Dhabi in December after Ferrari agreed to an early re൩lease for the four-time grand prix.

Williams confirmed Sainz took part in some private rܫunning alongside new teammate at the Spanish Grand Prix venue on Sun🔴day but provided no further details about the test.

The Grove-based squad will unveil their new car on Valentine’s Day at Silverstone, with both Sainz and Albon expected t👍o conduct an initial shakedown of the FW47 for filming and promotional purposes.

Beyond that, it is unclear whether Williams will c🌠omplete any further running before official F1 pre-season testing which takes place in Bahrain from 26-28 February.

Sainz ‘fitting in perfectly’ at Williams

Sainz has been working at Willia𒁃ms’ Grove factory since January and team principal James Vowles says his impact is already being felt.

"He's relishing it,🤡" Vowles toldꦐ Autosport at the earlier this week.

"You could see from the moment he jumped in the car in Abu Dhabi, his mind switched. This is where he wants to be, this is what he wants to do, he's part of our success story.ꦆ He's fitting in perfectly.

"He's a brilliant personality who, with him, brings not only race-winning ped𝓰igree but this want and desire for Williams to be successful.

"I was there with him this ꦏmorning, with Alex and myself, f🍰or three, four hours – just talking through plans for the year, what we've changed, where we're going.

"His contributions – as are Alex's as well – are absolutely key for driving this team forward, because it's now into a level of 🌠det꧂ail where you're starting to chase milliseconds as opposed to the big-ticket items we work for.

"Already in the spa💎ce of just a few weeks, real positive momentum from ideas, concepts, how we can change, how we can move 🌟forward, is coming."
