Carlos Sainz and Williams extended the contract.

      Williams has confirmed the driver lineup for 2027: just a few days after extending the contract with Alex Albon, the team announced a new multi-year contract with Carlos Sainz.

      James Vowles, team principal: “Since Carlos joined the team, his talent on the track and dedication at the base have become extremely valuable components of our project – he works day in and day out with his engineers to gain every millisecond. He is the leader of this team, and I am very pleased that he sees the opportunities that lie ahead as we continue to restore our competitiveness.

      Not only his racing skills and speed stand out, but also the work he does behind the scenes in the pursuit of increased efficiency. Carlos shares the beliefs and ambitions we have at the Atlassian Williams F1 Team, and he puts in every effort every day to bring them to life.

      I believe that Carlos and Alex are one of the best lineups in today’s Formula 1.”

      Carlos Sainz: “I am happy to announce that I will continue my journey with the Williams family! I truly believe in the people working in this team, both at the base and on the track, and I believe in the investments and hard work happening behind the scenes. We have everything we need to change the situation for the better together.

      I am as dedicated as I was on the first day, and I am ready to help Williams return to its deserved positions. I look forward to new bright moments together with the team.”
