Carlos Sainz will race for Williams in Formula 1 next year in what the team has described as a deal that goes into the championship’s new rules era in 2026.
After learning he would leave his current Ferrari team at the start of this year, with Lewis Hamilton being signed to race for the Scuderia alongside Charles Leclerc, Sainz has deliberated over his next move.
