It's been a very tough seven months of my career where I had to deal with everything that happened in January, in combination with having to perform and deliver as a Ferrari driver in a high-pressure, high-attention environment, and having to decide my future, talking to so many other teams and analyzing, putting everything on the table.
The decision was a blow and unexpected. Sainz, the only non-Red Bull driver to win a Grand Prix in 2023, in Singapore, said the decision was a blow and unexpected.
In July, it was announced that Sainz would drive for Williams, signing a two-year contract with options to extend. Making the decision was a weight off my mind.
He was linked with many teams, including Mercedes, Red Bull and Audi, which will make its debut in Formula 1 in 2026.
