As one of three Formula 1 race winners this year, it seems almost untenable to think that Carlos Sainz could be tempted to join a Williams team that has yet to score a point.
But as paddock whispers emerged in Monaco that the Spaniard is in talks with the Grove-based squad, a deeper analysis of what the team can offer shows it might not be such a crazy option for him. Of course, as a driver at the top of his game who has shown he can fight on equal terms with the very best, Sainz’s preference is obviously be to keep himself in a race-winning seat for 2025.
And there was perhaps no better proof of conviction about the team’s future than the fact that Alex Albon, who was understood to have had a first option of refusal from Red Bull for 2026 if it had a free seat then, electing to turn that chance down in favour of committing to his current team. Perhaps Williams' early move to get Albon locked down was equally about showing other drivers about the promise for the future.
