"Carlos has won a race more recently than anyone else in this team, and he is one of the best drivers in the world, full stop."
James said stfu
Carlos Sainz will have driven for the three oldest and most iconic Formula 1 teams: Scuderia Ferrari, McLaren and Williams.
He joins Alain Prost and Nigel Mansell as the third driver in history to race for all three teams!
Facebook reminded me of this and I thought I should share.
And I would like to add, it isn’t the first time and it wasn’t his first time in his Ferrari days.
To quote my goat Reyes ;
And this is when I recommend everyone to watch Road to 55.
WELL GOODMORNING TO ME
CARLANDO.
There's so much space but yes y'all stick together, yes Carlos and Lando. Shoulder to shoulder.
arm touch, handshake and intense eye contact,,, too much too handle
Whenever they're given a chance, it's always carlando vs others
The thing that I appreciate the most of Carlos’ answer about Isack, is how he visibly flinches and frowns when he hears the word ‘embarrassing’.
Sometimes actions speak louder than words.
Chinese GP '25 // Thurs Interview
“[On his crash in Australia] On my way back from the car to the paddock, (I beat myself up). Then, once I had a look at the data and saw what happened, I felt a lot more relieved... There's still these very small details that sometimes, in 99% of the cases, will not [catch] you out, but the first time that you run a certain mode, with certain quality of upshift, in certain low grip situations that, obviously, I've never experienced before in this team, it caught me out. And it meant a very bad ending to what had been, until then, a positive weekend. So, we learn from it. But it's these kind of experiences that you need to go through to make steps with the team and to move forward and progress.”

I have said this before (and will probably say it again and again) but I am so happy that Carlos is in Williams. He is an extremely talented driver and intelligent, he knows his stuff. Williams loves and appreciates him. He has a great teammate in Alex Albon who also is an extremely talented driver and very intelligent who also knows his stuff and they seem to have so much fun together
Woke up sick and scrolled through TikTok to try and get my mind off of how horrible I’m feeling. Saw a TikTok video about Alex and Carlos with the quotes “Red Bull has a problem and it’s Alex Albon” and “what a day for Ferrari but they won with the wrong car”. After everything they have gone through in their careers and not having been appreciated enough in their former teams (especially Red Bull and Ferrari) I am so happy they are now both in a team that really values them, and I am happy they are in that team together as teammates
I’m really excited for this era of Williams, because I really believe they can achieve big things
But yeah a tad bit sad for Australia cause Carlos was the defending winner and everything and we missed one result and some points but we already got 10 points from Alex and it's an amazing start. Plus that disappointment is drowned out by excitement for China since Shang hai was always an intriguing track.
We have a lot to look forward to because we can see that the pace of Williams which got Alex P4 is fucking brilliant and the crash wasn't even Carlos' fault so we have everything to look forward to.
The way when the podium sitters saw Carlos' crash one of them said (I couldn't see which one 😭) "Ohh Carlos..." SO FONDLY
This team is so perfect together... almost all of them are nerdy 😂😂
I'm genuinely still thinking about the fact that Alex Albon mentions having to give Charles a kiss and James Vowels immediately going, "speaking of Charles," only to bring up Carlos in the next breath.
carlos not only being acknowledged and praised for his contribution in race strategy by the team principal but also being thanked by his teammate for it ? oh we prayed for times like this
Alex avenged Carlos Sainz, he simply put a Williams in front of TWO Ferraris... Carbon is the greatest duo of this season, take note

"now at least being outside of the car i could help the strategy team do the right call with Alex"
Great call Carlos! Amazing job! I can tell he has a great future as a Team Principal, I wouldn’t be surprised if in the future he takes Vasseur or Vowles’ place.
Alex had a smooth race, well deserved P5 and great points! Williams is about to enjoy a fine season! Let’s see what happens next!

Australian GP | 2025
AA: But to be honest with you, you need help. You don't know what the weather's doing and the communication is some area that we've always been working on, trying to improve, especially in these kind of interchangeable conditions, just the relevant information for me... They knew exactly when the rain was gonna hit and how hard it was gonna hit. I honestly - if you remember on the radio - I was against it! I thought what are we doing, it's bone-dry... coming out of the pitlane, I was like okay we've definitely lost out here. But it was alright, I actually need to go see Charles [Florentin, the Head of Race Strategy at Williams] and give him a kiss.
JV: I'll give you a little nugget. I don't know if you saw in the race but Carlos was up on the pitwall right beside me and his insight was fantastic. He looked at the radar and went when that hits, they won't say on track, simple as that. And you could see the big key decision today is do you stop or not, and you saw the field was split. Carlos' information was key towards this so it is a group effort, really, in that regard and it was fantastic to see.
You gotta lock him down for a 15-year contract so he can stay there as a strategist after.
JV: He said he was more nervous than he was in the car, being up there. It's interesting.
I don’t think people understand just how impressive carlos’ performances have been lately. for the first time in four years, he’s working with a different engine, one he said he’ll take at least half a season just to adjust to. despite that, he put in the fastest lap in pre-season testing, in p2 in fp1 and a p11 on mediums in fp2. mind you, he’s had about a 100 laps of practise in the car. sure, at end of the day these things might not amount to anything in actual races, where it matters, but to produce a decent lap in a position like his would be a feat in itself, let alone laps like that. he’s said multiple times to not expect big things season, that the goal is to get better than where the team was last season, and I think the team is already well on their way there, in no small part thanks to carlos.
I'm taking all the wins no matter how small it may seem to others 👏🔥🔥🔥
can we just also briefly talk about Carlos saying that he wants to use his new role within the GPDA to somehow find a way to curb the cost of participating in junior categories? how anyone hates this man is beyond me
team torque launches straight into a dissection of the accessibility of podcasts over traditional interview in modern media due to the evolution of pop culture in case u guys were worried that Alex and Carlos were going to be normal
I am absolutely impressed by the way Alex and Carlos were so openly honest about the things they both are bringing to the table.
Carlos admitting that he did not expect for Alex to be this sensitive on some aspects of the car, so much so that during meeting he told engineers to ask Aex directly about some things because he knew he would feel them better and have a better feedback.
Alex admitting that Carlos being here put him in a completely different mentality, whereas last year he would fly over some problems to not overload the team, this time he feels like he can talk about any little problem he finds.
That’s a good fucking team for you, honestly. Regardless of the results, that’s exactly how a team should work, strengthening each other.
