Spanish driver Sainz will team up with Alex Albon at Williams in 2025, having been forced out of his Ferrari seat with Lewis Hamilton joining the Scuderia. Sainz will replace Franco Colapinto, who only recently stepped in for the axed Logan Sargeant.

Carlos Sainz, who has been a key part of Ferrari’s Formula 1 team since 2021, has shown remarkable composure and professionalism following the team’s decision to replace him with Lewis Hamilton for the 2025 season.

Ferrari team principal Vasseur, who worked with Hamilton in junior formula in the mid-2000s, revealed that work on the 2025 car – codenamed project 677 – has already started, with Italian press reporting the design concept will focus on suspension changes to aid Hamilton’s driving style.
