Carlos Sainz remains an important part of the market transition of Formula 1. In the next few days it will have to be made official what will be the fate of the Madrid man. At least that was his intention. A few weeks ago he said that he wanted to resolve his future as soon as possible. The options aren Audi, Williams or Alpine and you can add the alternative of Mercedeswho is still not sure if Kimi Antonelli will be promoted or not.
There are many options on the table to evaluate to fight for important things in the future, which is Sainz’s dream. Because of that James Vowles, Williams’ boss, assures that he doesn’t want that if they sign Carlos it’s just a bridge to kill time. They are confident of winning in the long term and they want the Spaniard to come because he trusts the project.
“I think we’re pretty straightforward and open about who we want to sign, but that doesn’t mean it has to happen. SWe know our place in the grand scheme of things. What I want is a pilot who also wants to be a part of our journeywho really understands what Williams is, the old and the new, and wants that to be at the heart of what he does as a driver,” Vowles said in an interview with TalkSport.
“In the case of Sainz, I understand it. To a certain extent, his dream was to be in a Ferrari or in a leading team. That is not happening. And he needs a period of adaptation to it.” Asked if he didn’t want to use Williams as a “springboard,” Vowles was very clear: “Right.. And that’s not what I see. “I left Mercedes to come here.”
Leave a mark
Vowles spent many years at Mercedes as head of strategy and went to Williams as Team Principal to turn the Grove team around. That’s exactly what he wants Sainz to do if he signs for the British.
“The reason I did this is not because I’m impatient to win, but I want to invest in something that is mine, that carries my digital footprint, and the footprint of a thousand other people who work in this organization, and the footprints of Albon, which will also fall by the wayside that’s important to him (Carlos). I want that to be the basis of a decision“, he says.
