Carlos Sainz has been told to look over his should꧅er when ꩲhe arrives at Williams next year.

Williams completed the huge ♏coup of attracting outgoing Ferrari driver Sainz to their race seat, alongside Alex Albon, in 2025 and beyond.

But since th🐻en, they have welcomed Franco Colapi🦩nto who has raised eyebrows inside the F1 paddock with his impressive drives.

Colapinto came in as a temporary replace💧ment for under-performing Logan Sargeant but has driven with authoꦰrity despite his inexperience.

“Williams will look, next year, when Carlos is driving the other ca𒊎r, then see where Alex is,” Guenthe🅷r Steiner claimed on the Red Flags podcast.

“If they are equal they wi𓃲ll say: ‘We have Colapinto, he is 10 years younger than these guys and costs a lot less money but he hasn’t got a drive’.

“It’s a good position to be in.

“I am sure they will try to find a place fo♊r him. People will be looking at him.

“He has had a few little accidents but, b💜oom, he puts ꦦit in the right spot again time-wise.”

Steiner cred💝ited Colapinto’s eye-🎃catching first-lap overtake at the Singapore Grand Prix: “It is impressive, what he did.

“He saw a hole and dr🎃ove into it. He’s there to show he can stℱay.

“In my opinion, he di༒d. In three races, he showed that he deserved to be there.”

But Steiner insists that Williams will still be content to have committed to a big-money♊ deal for grand prix winner Sainz.

“I don’t thi♓nk they regret having someone like Sainz. It’s always good for a team,” Steiner said.

“It is obviously a b𝓰ig help, he attracts other 🎃people.

“James Vowles can be proud of 💖finding Colapinto. But why did he find him three🌸 months too late?

“I w🍸ould try to give him to Audi. I𝓀 have no idea if they want him or not.

He has shown that he can do it, so why not?
“Otherwise there are not a lot of options.

“Albon h𝄹as got a multi-yea𓆏r deal with Williams. So does Carlos.

“He’s between a rock anꦅd a hard place,ౠ good old Colapinto!”
