James Vowles has made a surprising claim that Williams will have the best F1 drive𓄧r line-up on the grid in 2025.

Williams have signed 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz for next year, putting him alongside 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Albon.

It’s a bold claim by Vowles given Ferrari will have 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc, while McLaren have retained 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Oscar Piastri.

Speaking on the podcast, Vowels said:ꦛ  “In ’25, I think we will have the best driver lineup on the grid. I mean, Franco’s doing a brilliant job. What he doesn’t have is the experience that Carlos will come with, but he’s doing an outstanding job.

“I think from the perspective of not just driving the♉ car, but leading the team forward, we’ll have the best line-up on the grid. That will help motivate and pus💯h us forward. There’s good developments ongoing, just as a continuation of ’24 to ’25.”

Vowels’ claim stems from Sainz’s respectable record again𒆙st strong teammat♌es.

Sainz out-scored Norris in🌳 his two years at McLaren, while he finished ahead of Leclerc in 2021🤡 at Ferrari

“That’s my opinion of it. And I’ll explain some of the reasons behind it to a certain extent,” Vowles added. “A, they’re both performing at a very high level. I mean, Carlos has driven against all of the drivers we’ve just disc🉐ussed.  Against Lando, he was successful.

“Against Charles, up and down. But he’s there or thereabouts. There’s hardly anything between those two drivers.  Against Max, in that first year in ﷺToro Rosso, [he] was exceptionꦛal against him.

“So it’s not that he hasn’t been challenged throughout his career. He’s been challenged 🥃all the way through and held his own.  But it’s not just that that I’m basing it on. It’s not in the car, it’s ou🌜t the car.

“In the short space of time that I’ve got to know him properly, he drives the team forward. He wants to spend every minute o🧜f his time that he can do to make this team more and more successful.  And that’s a combination that is n🐼ot necessarily available up and down the grid.

“What I 𒀰mean by that is not just getting the car. That’s not my job. My job is I want this to be a successful organisation. Tell me what more we can do.  And that’s what I’m looking forward to. And Alex is built the same way.”
