Carlos Sainz has spent the winter break getting up to speed with the Williams team ahead of his debut season with the squad.
Carlos Sainz has acknowledged that it will take him around half a year to reach his optimal driving level at Williams this year. Sainz recently joined Williams on a multi-year deal after four seasons at Ferrari, where he competed towards the front of the grid. With Williams aiming for long-term gains, Sainz is prepared to adjust to a potential shuffle down the grid pecking order. Despite working with the team during the winter break to integrate himself, Sainz expects the adaptation process to fully understand the car’s details to take time. Although confident in his ability to be competitive from the beginning, Sainz recognizes the ongoing learning and improvement process that comes with each race weekend.
