Carlos Sainz has stated that he would have signed the contract with Williams even faster if he had known about the team’s Formula 1 success in 2025. The Williams FW47 showed early competitiveness, but circumstances prevented Sainz from taking full advantage in the beginning. Baku marked a turning point for Sainz, as he secured his debut podium with the team, propelling him to equal that third-place finish in subsequent races. These results contributed to Williams securing a top-five spot in the Constructors’ Championship, their best since 2017. Sainz admitted that he would have committed to Williams sooner had he been aware of the team’s achievements. His podium finish in Qatar was highlighted as his proudest moment with Williams, surpassing even the elation of his first podium in Baku.
