Sky Sports F1 commentator Martin Brundle believes it’s a “travesty” that 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz isn’t driving f🐻or either Red Bull or Mercedes in 2025.

Sainz’s Ferrari career came to an end at the F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Pr🦩ix with a strong run to second place.

However, it wasn’t enough for Ferrari to win the F1 constructors’ title, as 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris secured victory in the race.

Sainz has already begun working with his𒆙 new team, Williams, during the end-of-season test at the 💙Yas Marina Circuit.

The Spaniard will be tasked with bringing Williams back to the front of🅺 the grid over the next few years.

After Ferrari opted to sign Lewis Hamilton alongside 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc, Sainz had hoped to secure a drive wi෴th either Red Bull or Mercedes.

Red Bull decided to stick with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez, while M🃏ercedes chose to promote 18-year-old wonderkid Andrea Kimi Antonelli.

This left Sainz with three midfield op🃏tions: Alpine, Sauber/Audi🏅, or Williams.

Sainz ultima𓆉tely chose Williams, encouraged by James Vowles’ vision for the team’s future.

Writing in his post-race column for Sky F1, Brundle detailed why Sa🌊inz has the “perfect attitude” for Williams but expressed his frustration that he won’t be in a top car next year.

“Sainz 🔯was an impressive second as he is now obliged to depart the team forꦯ the incoming Lewis Hamilton, and Leclerc did make his way to a mighty third place from the back row of the grid,” Brundle wrote.

“Sainz has a perfect attitude and mindset about꧂ heading to current midfielders Willia💫ms, but it's a travesty that he's not in either a Mercedes or Red Bull next season.”

Sainz begins life at Williams

Les🍸s than 24 hours after the Abu Dhabi GP, Sainz was already in action with his new team on Monday during a filming day.

He completed numerous l🍷aps of the Abu Dhabi circuit to acclimatise to his new surroundings.

This gave him a ꦺhead start ahead of the full day of testing on Tuesday.

Sainz will quickly realise what improvements Williams need ahead of next year, given he is moving from a car that won multiple races to one that struggle🍌d to score points regularly.

Williams finished ninth in t𒈔🌟he 2024 F1 constructors’ standings, ahead of only Sauber.
