Lando Norris believes Red Bull should have chosen Carlos Sainz for the 2025 season after his move to Williams. Sainz, a free agent after Ferrari signed Lewis Hamilton, was eventually not signed by Red Bull despite uncertainty around Sergio Perez’s future and Mercedes still having a vacancy. Norris, being biased, thinks Sainz deserved the Red Bull seat, having been a former Red Bull junior driver. Williams team principal, James Vowles, expressed surprise that neither Red Bull nor Mercedes signed Sainz, but believes Sainz’s entire team, including his manager and rally legend father, is a perfect fit for Williams. Vowles emphasized the importance of personality and fit beyond on-track performance, making Sainz’s connection with Williams ideal.
