Carlos Sainz has been authorized by Ferrari to test with Williams in Abu Dhabi next month. Sainz will join Williams alongside Alex Albon starting in 2025, after Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari. Despite being under contract until 2024, Sainz will begin working with Williams at the post-season test with the FW46. This early opportunity aims to help Sainz and Williams start building their relationship and integrate him into the team environment. In addition to Sainz, three other drivers are changing teams in the off-season, with four rookies also confirmed to join the grid full-time in 2025. Williams has assured it will have two cars ready for the Las Vegas Grand Prix following a major effort to overcome damage suffered in Brazil.
