Carlos Sainz Jr Chooses Williams Over Audi for 2025: A Rising Project Captures the Future

"Williams is on the rise," says Carlos Sainz’s dad, detailing why Audi was turned down

Carlos Sainz Sr opens up about Carlos Sainz choosing Williams over Sauber/Audi for the 2025 season.

Carlos Sainz Sr characterized Williams as an ascending project while discussing why his son chose not to go with Audi.

Carlos Sainz Jr chose to sign with Williams for the 2025 F1 season, turning down proposals from both Sauber/Audi and Alpine.

Under the guidance of James Vowles, Williams has demonstrated subtle indications of improvement, harboring grand aspirations for what lies ahead.

Numerous observers anticipated the present Ferrari racer to ink a deal with Audi, considering his father's connections to the German marque and the team's status as a works outfit.

In an interview with Marca, Sainz Sr admitted that the choice his son faced was not straightforward.

"Sainz Sr. emphasized the importance of honoring his choice, acknowledging that it was far from simple or straightforward. He noted that there were multiple alternatives, around three or four, and ultimately, it's up to him to shape his own destiny. We're here to offer our unwavering support, and that's exactly what we've done."

"Williams is a project on the rise. As this year comes to a close, it has begun to show improvement. We remain hopeful and confident that its upward trajectory will continue into the next year."

Sainz Sr highlighted his son's knack for enhancing each team he's joined, along with his professional demeanor, which makes him a valuable addition to Williams.

“Carlos has made a positive impact on every team he's been part of through his efforts and expertise,” he continued. “Whenever he joins a team, there's noticeable improvement, and that's a crucial expectation for any professional to meet.

"In my view, Carlos has always demonstrated a strong sense of focus and direction in his driving career. I've consistently supported him in this aspect. Indeed, this year has presented its challenges, most notably the rumors about Hamilton moving to Ferrari before the season began, which certainly complicated matters."

"As a dad, both my nephew and I assisted him. We explored every available choice. However, my position remained the same throughout."
