Carlos and Max's dads don't like each other. So that will never happen while Max is at RBNot only is there a question of who is going to replace Checo for the rest of the year, who is going to replace him for 2025. A certain Carlos is still available.

Told you all that no big team will sign him. Now Vowles can listen to his crying on the radio. Now Yuki and Stroll is going to intimidate him.View attachment 1747307

Williams Racing welcomes Carlos Sainz for 2025, 2026 and beyond
With a decade of F1 competition under his belt, Sainz will join Williams from Scuderia Ferrari on a two-year agreement with options to extendwww.williamsf1.com
Williams Racing today announces that Carlos Sainz will complete the team’s driver line-up for the 2025 FIA Formula 1 World Championship season and beyond.
With a decade of F1 competition under his belt, Sainz will join Williams from Scuderia Ferrari on a two-year agreement with options to extend. In his Formula 1 career to date, the 29-year-old Spaniard has achieved three race victories, 23 podiums, over 1,100 career points and is currently sitting fifth in this season’s Drivers’ Championship. After becoming the only non-Red Bull Racing driver to achieve a race victory in 2023, Sainz most recently took victory at this year’s Australian Grand Prix, just ten days after surgery for appendicitis, and has scored four further podiums so far this season.
Carlos will race alongside Alex Albon for Williams Racing for 2025 and into the new F1 regulations era as the formidable pairing look to spearhead the team’s mission to return to the front of the grid. He will continue to race using number 55.
Williams Racing would also like to thank Logan Sargeant for his hard work and dedication over the past two years. As a graduate of the Williams Driver Academy, Logan became the first US driver to score a point for 30 years when he finished 10th in Austin last year, and has played a fundamental role in developing the team. Williams will give Logan every support as he looks to continue his racing career for 2025 and beyond.

Ricciardo?Can't remember if there was ever a case where a driver from a front team went to a B team and then went back up to a top team?
We are checking...Ricciardo?![]()

Eish I am hoping the teams will get rid of these has-beens and get some young blood in.I wonder if Audi will now just keep Bottas on for next year seeing that Carlos is signed?
Definitely another step in the right direction. I imagine this must be costing Williams a bit more than other options they had, so I'm hoping it pays off, they can continue to build and get some points in the process.Good driver pairing for them. Hopefully can drive the team forward.
So was Hamilton's car the correct weight then.Merc vs merc.
Yes. Our else he would've also been DSQ'ed. All cars are weighed.So was Hamilton's car the correct weight then.Merc vs merc.
Liam Lawson might be a better idea, but sure put the old Aussie in the seat...Redbull must just drop Perez and replace him with Danny Ric. Perez is not helping the team in the constructors and Daniel can't do worse
