After months of speculation, Carlos Sainz finally made a decision about his F1 future, opting to sign with Williams on a multiyear deal, the team announced Monday.
Sainz, who will be forced to depart Ferrari at the end of the 2024 season to make way for seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, has been the signature piece of this year's driver's market, receiving ample interest from a number of teams. Sauber (which will become Audi in '26) and Alpine were among the other primary suitors, but the 29-year-old ultimately chose the Grove outfit for his next F1 home.
