Carlos Sainz He has established himself as one of the most reliable drivers on the current Formula 1 grid for many years. Finally, Williams will be the new team from Madrid when a few months ago it was strong for top teams like Red Bull or Mercedes.
Exactly from the Austrian team, particularly Helmut Marko, they regret that the Spaniard’s performance is not good enough to fight for the top positions from next year if the surprise does not spring.
“It is understood that Carlos Sainz decided to go to Williamsbecause what are the alternatives? Audi will certainly not be one of them next year, if we look at its achievements. And with Alpine, we don’t know if they will have a Mercedes engine in 2025 or not until 2026. I would say it was the best solution for him in his situation,” he commented in his column for Speedweek.
“Of course, It is a pity that he is having his best season at Ferrari and is not getting a seat in a top team. But things should move forward at Williams, where he also has a powerful engine. “And there seems to be a clause in his contract that allows him to leave if an offer comes in from a better-placed team.”
Pérez will not move but must improve
Despite ‘Checo”s poor performance in the first half of the season, the Mexican managed to renew two more years with the Austrians. Marko assured that his continuation in the second half of the year is not in jeopardy but he needs to take a step forward. In addition, there are pilots from the young pilots academy driving from behind.
“Perez doesn’t need to be faster, just more consistent. And given the alternatives, he remains our best solution. Rumors that his commitment was due to Liberty Media wanting him to run in Mexico are untrue“
“In September we will announce what will happen to Liam Lawson. It was planned for some time that he would gain more experience in Formula 1 at Imola. Our Formula 2 driver Isack Hadjar achieved his fourth victory in the highest category of Formula racing at Spa. “It is clear that he has the potential for Formula 1. We will see how things change, but there is no doubt that he will play an important role in Formula 1,” he said.
