A new era is beckoning for the Williams F1 team as Carlos Sainz prepares for his debut alongside Alex Albon.
Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz have been revealed as the new Williams F1 driver line-up, with Sainz transitioning from Ferrari to Williams after a successful four-year period. Sainz has signed a multi-year contract with the team and participated in the post-season test in Abu Dhabi last year. The upcoming pre-season test will provide Sainz with more experience as he aims to contribute to Williams’ resurgence. In a lighthearted nod to their partnership, Albon jokingly referred to themselves as ‘Thai Sweet Chilli’ in a social media post. Williams also humorously named the duo ‘Carbon,’ combining the first three letters of Sainz’s first name with the last three letters of Albon’s last name.
