Carlos Sainz Jr chose to sign with Williams for the 2025 Formula 1 season, even though he had proposals from Sauber/Audi and Alpine.
Under the guidance of James Vowles, Williams has demonstrated slight improvements and has set high goals for the future.
Numerous people anticipated that the present Ferrari driver would join Audi, considering his father's connections with the German company and the team's status as a factory outfit.
In an interview with Marca, Carlos Sainz Sr admitted that his son faced a difficult choice.
Carlos Sainz Sr expressed that the choice ultimately rested with his son, and it’s important to honor that. According to him, the decision was neither straightforward nor simple, with several possibilities on the table. In the end, it was up to his son to choose his path, and they are providing him with all the support they can. That is exactly what they have done.

In my view, Carlos is a dedicated racer who has a clear sense of direction for his career. I have consistently supported him in this journey.

"As a father, my nephew and I assisted him by exploring all the available options. However, my role has remained the same throughout this process."
