Sky Sports F1 commentator Martin Brundle believes it’s a “travesty” that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz isn’t driving for either Red Bull or Mercedes in 𝔉2025.

Sainz’s Ferrari care💙er came to an end at the F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix with a strong run to second place.

However, it wasn’t enough for Ferrari to win the F1 constructors’ title, as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris secured victory in the race.

Sainz has ཧalready begun working with his new team, Williams, during the end-of-season test at the Yas Marina Circuit.

The Spaniard will be🐽 tasked with bringing Williams back to the front of the grid over the next few years.

After Ferrari opted to sign Lewis Hamilton alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc, Sainz had hoped to secure a drive with either 🧜Red Bull or Mercedes.

Red Bull decided to stick with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez, w🧸hile Mercedes chose to promote 18-year-old wonderkid Andrea Kimi Ant𓃲onelli.

This left Sainz with three 💙midfield options: Alpine, Sauber/Audi, or Williams.

Sainz ultimately chose Williams, encouraged by James Vowles’ vision for the 🉐team’s future.

Writing in his post-race column for Sky F1, Brundle detailed why Sainz has the “perfect ဣattitude” for Williams but expressed his frustration that he won’t be in a top car next year.

“Sa𓆉inz was an impressive second as he is now obliged to depart the team for the incoming Lewis Hamilton, and Leclerc did make his way to a mighty third place from the back row of the grid,” Brundle wrote.

“Sainz has 𒀰a perfect attitude and mindset about heading to current midfielders Williams, but it's a travesty that he's not in either a Merce✃des or Red Bull next season.”

Sainz begins life at Williams

Less than 24 hours after the Abu Dhabi GP, Sainz was already in 🐼a♔ction with his new team on Monday during a filming day.

He completed numerous laps of the 🎶Abu Dhꦕabi circuit to acclimatise to his new surroundings.

This gave him𓄧 a head start ahead of the full day of tꦬesting on Tuesday.

Sainz will quickly realise what improvements Williams need ahead of next year, given he is moving from a car th💎at won multiple races to one that struggled to score points regularly.

Williams finish🧸ed ninth in the 20💝24 F1 constructors’ standings, ahead of only Sauber.
