The former Formula 1 driver considers the rumors of a move to Williams as a dead end for the Spaniard. Sainz’s contract with Ferrari expires at the end of the season, and he will be replaced by someone else.
Carlos Sainz has been with Ferrari since the beginning of the 2021 season and has secured victory in three races with the team. The 29-year-old driver has proven his skills as a talented racer, attracting interest from several teams looking to hire him for the upcoming years.
There are rumors that Sainz has received an offer from Williams Racing and has also caught the attention of Audi for the next season. However, Ralf Schumacher advised the Spanish driver not to join the British team.
It has been reported that Sainz has been in discussions with Audi since news of the German team’s entry into Formula 1 in 2026 became known. Now, the Spaniard will consider his options to find a team for the next season, while Formula 1 gears up for the highly anticipated race weekend at the Canadian Grand Prix.
Lewis Hamilton openly admitted that he fully embraces his move to Ferrari next season, even without knowing many people within the team. The seven-time world champion is leaving Mercedes after an impressive 11-year stint with the team.
Lewis Hamilton has achieved a record 82 Grand Prix victories and secured six world championships with Mercedes. When he joins the team based in Maranello, he will be looking to increase his remarkable number of wins in his quest for an unprecedented eighth world championship.
Currently, Hamilton is facing challenges with Mercedes, as the Brackley-based team has only the fourth fastest car on the grid. However, the Silver Arrows are optimistic about their chances in the Canadian Grand Prix, following recent updates to their car. They will be aiming for a spot on the podium in the upcoming event.
