James Vowles has done amazingly to secure an Albon/Sainz line up with all the issues that team faces.
-
"They drove a DUMPTRUCK full of Cash up to my house" Krusty the Clown
-
As a Ferrari fan, I want to tell you that what you have done for the team will be remembered forever. Thank you, Carlos. ❤
-
I still DO NOT believe that Mercedes is going to put Antonelli in the main team's car. That's just nuts. Bottas, I'd believe.
-
Just add Newey and watch 2026..
-
"what made Sainz think THIS was the project to be part of, among all others available" ? "available" is the key word here
-
Yall should do a a standardized outro or sign off statement so the endings of your videos aren’t so abrupt. When listening and not watching, I often think it paused mid video.
-
Could it the Newey secret. That will change the game so much. Imagine Williams changing from the least to contending for a championship next year.
-
So next year will be the first time since 2016 where williams has actually 2 drivers instead of 1 plus a rolling obstacle ;)
-
Aged 29, sounds like career suicide for Carlos, but given the choices available it really was the best of a bad bunch. Still ballsy move to ignore Audi...
-
Such a fall for someone that deserves a much better car.. 😮
-
Hmmmm… Does Sainz know anything about a Newey return that we don’t know??? Would love to see that happening
-
Sainz chose Williams because they have the best looking racing suit out of given teams.
-
If Antonelli ends up being a dud at mercedes Sainz in the Williams is then in the perfect place to swap?
-
That’s Antonelli to Mercedes nailed on then. Bottas or Perez for sauber/audi if Perez loses his seat at the end of the season? And then Doohan vs Schumacher for the alpine seat.
-
I think Lewis is trying to figure out how to cancel that Ferrari contract LOL. Carlos should just hold out and see.
-
Doohan now a shoe in for the Alpine seat?
-
10:50 "apart from that, it's a really good car..." LOL
-
Blows my mind that a top team wouldn’t take sainz but out of the three teams Williams was by far the best option
-
he knows something.
