James Vowles confirms Carlos Sainz is Williams’ “number one target” for F1 2025
Williams conf♍irm that Carlos Sainz is their "numbꦉer one target" to sign for F1 2025.
Williams boss James Vowles has openly admitted that168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Carlos Sainz is the team’s “number one target” to complete their 2025 F1 driver line-up.
Sainz is the most sought after free agent on the F1 driver market after the shock news of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s switch from Mercꦉedes 💦to Ferrari for next season left him without a drive.
The Spaniard has fouജnd himself linked to Mercedes and Red Bull but it is now thought that either Williams or Sauber/Audi will be the most likely destination for the outgoing Ferrari driver.
Williams team principal Vowles stepped up his courting of Sainz by making a public pitch to the three-time grand prix winner on Friday, saying it should be an “easy decision” to join the British sq🥂uad.
Vowles went further ahead of qu𝄹alifying on Saturday by naming Sainz as Williams’ p💙riority.
“That bit I can say, the number one target is Carlos,” Vowles told Sky Sꦡports F1.
“He’s a race-winning driver that last year against all odds beat Max [Verstappen] in Singapore with a brilliant drive, and that’s not the first time, ꦕhe’s intelligent in how he does things, logical, incredibly quick.
“What he did in Shanghai, this will sound like a negative and it’s not, in qualifying he crashed and we’ve all been there to a certain extent, it’s an impressive athlete that can reset and then go out and beat your team ma༺te in that condition, and I think that shows you how strong he is as a driver.
“I ꦐthink any team on the grid wou🦋ld be fortunate to have someone like Carlos alongside them.”
There have been rumours a deal betwee🎶n the two parties is clo𝕴se and that an announcement could come ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix on June 23 - Sainz’s home race.
Vowles would not budge either way on such speculation when the notion of a Barcelona announcement🐭 was put to him.
“Is it, good to ♐know [that Spain is next],” Vowles said. “Where we are at the moment is you’ll see the rest of 📖the market clear itself in the next four weeks, that’s the time period we’re looking at.”
With 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon under contract for at least another two seasons, signing Sainz would leave168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Logan Sargeant without a drive for 2025.
