2009 F1 World Champion Jenson Button says 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz’s arrival at 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Williams shows you where he thinks the British team is going to be in🐼 the future.

Sainz left Ferra🤪ri at the end of the season, with Lewis Hamilton moving to the Scuderia to partner with Charles Leclerc from 2025.

But, while the Spaniard won’t win races immediately with Williams, Button says he’s made a calculated, smart move for 2026 – with the team focused on making a step chan♕ge into the sport’s new era.

Carlos Sainz to swap Ferrari for Williams

“The regulation change is a big thing for the tea𝔉m, and it's what the team needs to real꧒ly progress to the next step and I think Carlos can see that,” Button says, exclusively to mahbx.com.

“He really༒ does believe in the team, which is led James Vowles, and the important thing is James speaks the truth – and that’s why Carlos is interested to come to a team that isn’t winning races and to have the🐓 belief that he can be competitive in the future.”

Sainz is set for two early tastes of the Williams FW46 - first at the squad's second filming day, which will be held on the Monday after the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, th𓂃en again the following day at the postseason test.

Button, who remains an ambassador for Williams, alongside his other racing and media roles, is also excited for Sainz’s match-up with Alex Albon, who﷽ has proven to be a leading light for Grove since joining in 2022.

“It’s great for the team having Alex and Carlos; they have so m⭕uch experience in the sport and have worked with some of the best teams in the world,” he says.

Williams driver conundrum with Franco Colapinto

Williams' driver decisions have bee🅺n at the forefront of F1 all year.

The under-performing💃 Logan Sargeant was axed at the mid-way stage, 𒆙a show of team boss' James Vowles ruthlessness and eagerness to improve.

Franco Colapinto, who was previously𓆏 largely unheralded, stepped into Sargeant's car and has impressed.

It brought the spotlig🌸htไ onto Williams' decision to pair Albon with Sainz in 2025, meaning they have no room for Colapinto.

Vowles has insisted that Colapinto's form warrants a fu♒ll-time race seat next year.

Red Bull admitted they enquired about his availability, although Colap꧙into's previously red-hot form has cooled.

He was 18th in Saturday's sprint in Qatar.

Alpine have also been credited with ෴an interest in Colapinto despi🤡te naming Jack Doohan as their 2025 driver alongside Pierre Gasly.

Colapinto's future is up for grabs - but Sainz is certainly not, afte🐟r Williams completed the major coup to nab his signature.
