Carlos Sainz denies rumors that he has already signed a contract with Williams for the 2025 season. The Spanish driver will leave Ferrari at the end of 2024, with the seven-time world champion taking his place. Since this announcement, Sainz’s future in F1 has been uncertain, leading to speculations that he has already secured a deal with Williams. However, Sainz has now addressed these rumors and made it clear that his future is still undecided. He joked about similar reports linking him to Mercedes or Red Bull in the past, emphasizing that such speculations are inaccurate and concerning.
Sainz joined Ferrari in 2021 and has performed well alongside his teammate. However, for the 2025 season, it seems that his options are limited to Williams and Audi. Sainz believes that, in order to succeed in F1, a driver needs a medium or long-term contract, as a one-year deal is not enough to reach the top of the sport.
With time running out, Sainz will need to make a decision about his future in Formula 1. Joining Williams may be a safer choice due to their connection with Mercedes, but he will certainly face challenges before being able to compete again at the front of the grid.
