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 Bul💙l or Mercedes in 2025.

S🧜ainz’s Ferrari ca🅷reer 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 already begun working with his new team, Williams, during the end-of-season test🧜 at the Yas Marina Circuit.

The Spaniard will be tasked with bring💦ing 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 Re🌺d 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, while Mercedes chose to promote 18-year-old wonderkid Andrea Kimi Aඣntonelli.

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

Sainz ultimatelyꦚ 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 attitude” for Williams but expressed his frustration that he won’t be in a top car next yಞear.

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

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

Sainz begins life at Williams

Less than 24 hours after the Abu D﷽habi GP, Sainz was already in action with his new team on Monday during a filming day.

He compl𓆉eted numerous laps of the Abu Dhabi circuit to acclimatise to his new surroundings.

This gav🌸e him a head start ahead of the full day of testing⛦ on Tuesday.

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

Williams finished ninth in the 2024 F1 constructors’ standi🍨ngs, ahead of only Sauber.
