According to the statement, Sainz, who currently races for Ferrari, will be joining the Williams team in 2025. His arrival at the Grove-based squad will coincide with the new generation of technical regulations set to take effect in Formula 1 in 2026.
The news comes amid speculation that Sainz’s seat at Ferrari could be in jeopardy. In a surprising turn of events, Lewis Hamilton is set to join Ferrari for the 2025 season, which led to Sainz’s displacement. The Spaniard will now look to continue his F1 career at Williams, a team that has been working hard to regain its competitive edge in recent years.
Williams has been making strides with its car development and will look to capitalize on the new regulations in 2026, which are expected to level the playing field and offer teams like Williams the chance to make a significant leap in performance. With Sainz, a driver known for his consistency and adaptability, the team hopes to make a strong push in the coming seasons.
The move will also mark a major shift for Red Bull, who are expected to be in the driver market for 2025 after a series of rumors about their own lineup changes. While the focus has been on Sainz’s future at Ferrari, his potential switch to Williams signals a changing of the guard in the F1 driver market, with drivers moving between teams as the sport prepares for a new era.
Williams, a team with a storied history in Formula 1, is eager to return to the front of the grid and sees Sainz as a key figure in that journey. The Spanish driver has earned a reputation for his resilience and strong racecraft, and his move to Williams will be seen as a fresh chapter for both the team and the driver as they prepare for the challenges of the 2026 regulations.
With Hamilton’s surprising Ferrari move and Sainz’s transfer to Williams, the upcoming seasons in Formula 1 are shaping up to be highly competitive and full of surprises, as established drivers change teams and new technical challenges loom on the horizon.
