The 2025 season of Formula 1 It has been a constant test and error for Carlos Sainzbecause unfortunately the results have been well below what was expected in their first year Williams.
Until before this, its best result of the season, the Spanish had only added a total of 16 points, in addition to being out of the top 10 on 9 times, which undoubtedly translated into frustration for the former Ferrari.
A highly anticipated podium for Sainz and Williams
The frustration of the Madrid disappeared this weekend after getting his first podium with Williams, and the first of James Vowles as the main team of the team.
For Sainz, this achievement with Williams represents an even bigger pride than when he went up to the podium for the first time in the F1, beyond 2019 in the GP of Brazil, when he ran for McLaren:
“Honestly, I can’t describe how happy I am … We have fought throughout the year and finally today, we have just demonstrated when we have the speed. We nailed the race, not a single mistake and we managed to overcome many cars that yesterday did not expect to beat,” said the coequipero of Alex Albon.
This triumph in addition to translating in 15 more points for the British team, also puts Carlos Sainz at the height of one of the most important and legendary figures of the highest category of motor racing: Alain Prost, because Spanish just like the Frenchman, are the only two flyers that have achieved a podium for three different teams, McLaren, Ferrari and Williams.
As expected, Sainz’s podium with Williams again opens comparisons between him and Lewis Hamilton, as many question Ferrari’s decision to let Spanish go, since the adaptation for the seven -time world champion is taking more time than expected.
Finally, Carlos Sainz says that Williams goes in the right direction, and that this life lesson drives him to continue trusting the team that surrounds him: “I am extremely proud of all in Williams for overcoming a very difficult year … sooner or later, it is always worth it.”
