The Spanish driver Carlos Sainz, currently at Ferrari, admitted this Thursday that the rumor circulating in the world of Formula 1 about his possible signing for Williams “makes him laugh”, pointing out that “nothing is closed” yet about his future in the World Championship.

“Now, obviously, those scenarios are not going to happen. So it’s funny that now people are saying that I signed for Williams. It makes me laugh, but sometimes this goes a little unpunished by some media outlets. And I don’t mean you because you are very involved in Formula 1 and you know when something has been signed or not,” Sainz snapped.

“You need a suitable project for those things to happen. I think 2025, 2026, 2027 and 2028 offer me a good opportunity to find it,” he assured. “I’ve already said that I think 2026 will be a lottery. You’ve seen today’s rules. When I looked at them, it seemed impossible to predict who will be competitive,” she warned.
“At this moment, you see perhaps with a slightly dramatic perspective not being in a competitive car by 2025 or 2026. But I think that 2026 will be one of so much change that perhaps the future holds something really positive for me,” he predicted the day before. of the Canadian Grand Prix.
After not answering a specific question about Williams, Sainz described what he has received to negotiate as “good options” and was pleased to be able to choose. “I have felt loved by all the people I have spoken to.
