2009 F1 World Champion Jenson Button says 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz’s arrival at 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Williams shows you where he thinks the Br💖itish team is going to be 𝓰in the future.

Sainz left Ferrari at the end of the season, with Lewis Hamilton moving to the Scuderia to partner wi𝄹th Charles Leclerc from 2025.

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

Carlos Sainz to swap Ferrari for Williams

“The regulation change is a big thing for the team, and it's what 🐽the team needs to really progress t꧒o the next step and I think Carlos can see that,” Button says, exclusively to wuqian0821.com.

“He really does believe in the team, which is led James Vowles, and the i꧙mportant thing is Jame🥀s 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 𝓀will be held on the Monday after the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, then again the following day at the postseason test.

Button, who remains an ambassador for Williams, al🌠ongside his other racing and media roles, is also excited for Sainz’s match-up with Alexꦇ 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 much 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' dri♎ver decisions have been at the forefront of F1 all year🌳.

The under-performing Logan Sargeant was axed at the mid-way stage, a show of team boss' James Vowles ruthlessness and eagernಞess to improve𓃲.

Franco Colapinto, who was previously largely unheralded, stepped into Sarge⛎ant's car and has impressed.

It brought the spotlight onto Williams' decision to pair Albon with Sai🐼nz in 2025, meaning they h꧃ave no room for Colapinto.

Vowles𝓡 has insisted that Colapinto's form warrants a full-time race seat next year.

Red Bull admitted they enquired about his availability, alt🎐hough Colap😼into'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 despite naming Jack Doohan as their 2025 driver alongsid♋e Pierre Gasly.

Cola🦩pinto's future ꧑is up for grabs - but Sainz is certainly not, after Williams completed the major coup to nab his signature.
