Carlos Sainz will carry out end-of-season Formula 1 testing at the wheel of the FW46 for his new team, Williams. The British manufacturer announced it with great fanfare this Friday.
The next Formula 1 season will mark quite a turning point, a game of musical chairs has taken place behind the scenes, leading to numerous changes of drivers within the teams. Among these, the arrival of Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari chased out Carlos Sainz who landed at Williams. The British manufacturer, plunged into a nightmare year, intends to relaunch in 2025. To achieve this, the team is putting all the chances on its side. At the end of the last Grand Prix of the current financial year, in Abu Dhabi, Carlos Sainz will immediately swap his Ferrari equipment for that of his new team with whom he will test his future single-seater on the Yas Marina Circuit.
“A great chance for the Spaniard to integrate into his new environmentwhen he drives the FW46 for the first time” noted Williams in his press release today. An enthusiasm exacerbated by his future association with Alex Albon, currently 12th in the World Championship. Carlos Sainz, for his part, occupies 5th place with 244 points thanks among other things to his two Grand Prix victories last month it was he who won the Mexican GP, a week after his second place behind his partner Charles Leclerc at the United States GP.
