James Vowles shares secrets of how he convinced Carlos Sainz
Williams have explained how they convinced Carlos Sainz to join, after sharing sensitive information about their car.
Team principal James Vowles told the F1 Nation podcast: “I gave him quite accurate weight figures, from where the car is overweight. So he can go back and calculate where the car would have been. “He put together ‘this is where you are performance-wise’ which allows him a clearer view of where the performance is. That was encouraging.
“I said ‘it’s best that you watch the screen’. I’ve had the pleasure of winning races and championships.
