James Vowles doesn’t want Williams to be a ‘stepping stone’ for F1 drivers as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz continues to mull over his future.

Williams have one seat available for F1 2025, with Sainz reportedly at t🥃he top of their wish💮list for next year.

However, Sainz is in no rush to make a decision as he waits to see what happens at Red Bul﷽l and Mercedes.

Sainz also has other options in Alpine and Sauber/Audi for nღext year.

Speaking to , Vowlesꦏ mad💖e clear that Williams want a driver that is committed to the team and wants to be part of their journey.

“I think we’ve been fairly forthright and open on who we’d like to sign, but that doesn’t mean it will necessarily happen,” Vo🐼wles said. “We know🌞 where we place in the grand scheme of things.

“What I would say is this, what I want is a driver that also wants to be a part of our journey, that wants to really, understands what Williams iꦚs a🥃bout, both the old and the new, and wants that to be at the heart of what they’re doing driving wise.

“And sometimes that doesn’t match up. Sometimes it does, but that’s real𝓰ly important to me.”

Vowles joined Willia🥃ms at the start of last ☂year having spent a number of years as Mercedes’ head of strategy.

Many suggested that Vowles move to Williams’ top job was a ploy to gain experience befoꦑre returning to Mercedes in the future when Toto Wolff eventually steps✤ down.

Unsurprisingly, Vowles🦩 is keen for Williams to avoid being seen as🦄 a ‘stepping stone’ to the bigger teams.

“Correct. And that’s not what I see at all. 🐽I left Mercedes to come here,” he added.

“The reason why I did is not because I’m bored 🌊of winning, but rather I want to invest in something that’s my own, that has my fingerprint on it, and the fingerprint of a thousand other people working in this organisation, and the fingerprint of Alex [Albon] that would join us on that journey.

“That’s important to me. It’s important to him. And I wan𝔍t that to be at the foundation of a decision.”
