“I honestly didn’t expect it. It leaves me bitter. I’m ꦅgoing to negotiate and get myself a good deal,” the 30-year-old Spaniard says in response to༺ being forced to make way for Hamilton at Ferrari.
Williams team principal Vowles talks about how he “wakes up in the morning and I go✨ to sℱleep at night thinking of nothing else” in his attempt to land Sainz’s signature.
A conver♚sation between Vowles and Sainz’s manager 🐻Carlos Ońoro takes place.
“I really am confident ﷺthis is a good contract and a good place. I know I’m going to ge🍬t stronger over the next few races, I’m quite an honorable individual,” Vowles is heard telling Oñoro.
“You want a🤪 relationship? I want a relationship. Let’s put a piece of🐟 paper together that covers it off.”

“I spoke to Caജrlos yesterday. In the short term it’s Williams🍨, but longer term Audi,” he says.
At one point, Vowles is captured confidently telling Willܫiams board member James Matthews that things were “pretty much there” with🌌 Sainz.
𝄹“Signing a driver has some similarities to dating. You start with texts, then [there’s] dinner, then you end up in a hotel room,” he joke♌s.
Briatore involvement complicates matters

Vowles arranged for the contract to be signed later that night at his hotel, 🐟but there’s an unexpect🦩ed plot twist when Sainz does not show up.
A producer asks Sainz: “You were going to sign for W🥀illiams but then changed your min🏅d. What happened there?”
Sainz responds: “Flavio [Briatore] called me.”
It was at this stage Sainz began c🥂onsidering Alp▨ine as an option for 2025 and beyond, with Briatore returning to the Enstone-based squad in an advisory role.
Williams’ hopes of landꦕi𒅌ng Sainz appear to have taken a blow at the British Grand Prix, with Oñoro telling Vowles over the phone: “Carlos has got doubts. I think he’s evaluating every single team available.”
Sainz’s conversations with Alpine result in then reserve driver 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Doohan jඣokingly labelling him “the paddock sl*t”. Doohan would go on to get the 𝐆seat for 2025.
However, a few weeks later, Williams finally got their man,﷽ with Sainz eventually putting pen to paper.
