P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Franco Colapinto is convinced Carlos Sainz will help push Williams up the pecking order in F1 once he arrives at the team in 2025.
During the summer break, Williams made a significant move by signing Carlos Sainz to a multi-term contract, rejecting other offers. Sainz will join Alex Albon in what team principal James Vowles considers the strongest lineup on the grid. This partnership sees Sainz replacing Franco Colapinto, who had taken over mid-season from Logan Sargeant. Colapinto, who made his F1 debut at the Italian Grand Prix, reflected on the sacrifices he made to reach this point in his career. Despite losing his seat to Sainz, Colapinto acknowledges the Spaniard’s talent and is confident in Williams’ improved performance with both drivers.
