Carlos Sainz says he never considered leaving the Williams Formula 1 team, having signed a new deal for 2027 last week alongside team-mate Alexander Albon.
For the legendary British team, a nine-time constructors’ championship winner, 2026 has been a tough season so far. The FW48 has been losing ground in the pecking order and has failed to score any points in the last six rounds. This openly led team principal James Vowles to fear he may not be able to retain his current line-up.
