Carlos Sainz h🅷as been told to look over his shoulder w🐽hen he arrives at Williams next year.

Williams completed the huge coup of attracting outgoing Ferrari driver Sainz to their 🐼race seat, alongside Alexꦅ Albon, in 2025 and beyond.

But since then, they ha🍒ve welcomed Franco Colapinto who has raised eyebrows inside the F1 paddock🐷 with his impressive drives.

Cola𝔍pinto came in as a temporary replacement for under-performing Logan Sargeant but has driven with authority despite his inexp⛦erience.

“Willi🌳ams will look, next year, when Carlos is driving the other car, then𒐪 see where Alex is,” Guenther Steiner claimed on the Red Flags podcast.

“If they are equꦆal they will say: ‘We have Colapinto, he is 10 years younger than these guys and costs a lot less money but he hasn’t g🅷ot a drive’.

“It’s a good position to be in.

“I✱ am sure they will try to find a place for him. People will be looking at him.

💞“He has had a few little accid♈ents but, boom, he puts it in the right spot again time-wise.”

Steiner🔯 credited Colapinto’s eye-catching first-lap overtake at the Singapore Grand Prix: “It is impressive, what he did.

“He saw a hole and drove into it. He’s there to show he𒉰 can stay.

“In my opinion, he did. I🥀n three races, he showed that he deserved to be there.”

But Steiner inꦆsists that Williams will still be content to have committed to a big-money deal for grand prix winner Sainz.

“I don’t think they regret having some⭕one like Sainz. It’🐈s always good for a team,” Steiner said.

“It is obviously a big help, he attract🐷s other people.

“James Vowles can be proud of finding Colapinto. But why did he find him three months t✤oo late?

“I woꦉuld try to give him to Audi. I have no idea if they want him o⛎r not.

He has shown that he can do it, so why not?
“Otherwise there are not a lot of options.

“Albon has got a multi-year deal with Williams. So does Carl꧑os.

“He’s betw🐟een ﷽a rock and a hard place, good old Colapinto!”
