History is not lost on Carlos Sainz as he becomes the fourth driver in Formula 1 to race for the Big Three of Ferrari, McLaren and now Williams.
Sainz has become something of what pejoratively would be described as a journeyman, a very good driver below the absolute superstar level who has frequently moved teams in order to find a permanent home to deploy his talents, which in his case is not only his speed but also his technical nous and collaborative mentality which has made him an extremely valued member at any of his previous outfits.
