Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has claimed there’s a secret release clause in 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz’s Williams F1 contract.

Last week, Williams announced Sainz will join the team for at least two year🍎s from Ferrari🐓.

The move brought an end to months of speculation🐓 about Sainz’s f✅uture - and the wider impact on the driver market.

Sainz was reluctant to commit to a🌱ny other midfield team while he waited to see what would happen ಌat Red Bull and Mercedes.

Eventually, Williams completed the majorജ coup of attracting the grand prix winner. 

Assessing Sainz’s move to Williams, he told 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Speedweek: “It🦄 is understandable that Carlos decided to go to Williams, because what would the alternatives be? 

“Audi will certainly not be one of them next year if you look at their successes. And at Alpine, we don't know whether they will get the Mercedes engine in ꦦ2025 or not until 2026. I would say that was the best solution for him in his situation.

“It𒅌 is, of course, tragic that he is having his best season at Ferrari and is not getting a seat in a top team. But things should be movin▨g forward at Williams, he has a strong engine there too.”

Marko claims there’s 🦩a release clause in Sainz’s Williams contract that would allow him to leave if a “better-placed team” offered.

He added: “And, apparently, there is a clause in his contract that allows him to leave i⛎f an offer comes from a much better-placed team.”

Marko’s suggestion is in contradiction to Wi൲lliams boss Ja🐷mes Vowles.

Vowles made clear that only a limited number of people know what is in Sainz’s contract - and any rumours, such as an exit🐼 clause, is just speculation.

“There are precisely 10 people in the world that know what t♈he interior in the contract holds,” Vowles told media including during a virtual press call last wღeek.

“The Carlos camp knows, and I know what🌊’s inside it. Anything you have read on the internet is speculation and that is it.🎐”
