For Carlos Sainz, the outcome of the 2024 Formula 1 financial year was synonymous with the end of his adventure with Ferrari and the start of a new era with Williams. During post-season testing, the Iberian was allowed by the Scuderia to ride for his future team. A special moment since he was still under contract with the Italian firm which could very well have forbidden him.
Dressed in a white suit without any brand or sponsor, the new recruit of the Grove team was able to discover the FW46 by completing some 146 laps which resulted in a second best time behind his former teammate Charles Leclerc. Proud to welcome Sainz, Williams unveiled a video which shows behind the scenes of this first experience before its official debut. A video to discover below via the Williams Racing YouTube channel.
