Carlos Sainz was expected to sign with Williams during the Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix weekend, but Alpine intervened last minute to try and recruit him. Two weeks after the Spanish GP, Sainz is still considering his options, potentially including joining Zhou’s current team, Sauber. Zhou and other drivers are waiting for Sainz to make a decision to solidify their own plans for the future. There is a sense of frustration among some drivers, including Zhou, who believe that Sainz’s indecisiveness is holding up the entire driver market.

Bottas remains confident in his own position for the next Formula 1 season and is not overly concerned by the ongoing wait for Sainz’s decision.
