Despite Carlos Sainz signing for Williams for next year, a switch to Red Bull has remarkably been rumoured.
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner dismissed rumors of a late move for Carlos Sainz, clarifying that Sainz has already signed with Williams earlier this year. Sainz became available when Lewis Hamilton announced his move to Ferrari next season on February 1. Red Bull opted to re-sign Sergio Perez instead, with rumors now swirling about potential driver changes for Red Bull after a lackluster performance from Perez this year. Speculation includes Red Bull considering young talents like Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda, along with Williams’ impressive rookie Franco Colapinto. Despite some rumors suggesting Williams might release Sainz to join Red Bull to retain Colapinto, Horner confirmed that Sainz is committed to Williams for the upcoming season and is not part of Red Bull’s plans.
