‘I have a team principal and a team that…’ - Carlos Sainz shares his feelings ahead of new F1 journey with Williams

Star F1 driver Carlos Sainz has now become one of four drivers who have given services to the big three in front, including Ferrari, McLaren, and Williams. Sainz has been in the news headlines for the last few days since he joined Williams to take over his new responsibilities.

Sainz’s association with Ferrari ended unexpectedly, which didn’t come as an easy one to take for him. However, his journey with the Italian outfits ended with dignity following a new association with Williams.

I have confidence in my abilities to help the team move forward - Carlos Sainz

Meanwhile, Sainz also shared his feelings about joining Williams for new responsibilities lying ahead for him in the Formula 1 circuit. 

“The only thing I can tell you is I'm thrilled, I'm very motivated, I'm excited, I feel supported. I have a team principal and a team that fully trusts in my abilities and wants to listen to what I say, and I have confidence in my abilities to help the team move forward. I like Alex as a team-mate in how we can both push this team forward, so the whole project just motivates me a lot, and I'm just looking forward,” said Sainz after testing Williams’ new car and his association with one of the big three in F1 circuit. 

“How much I will miss winning or how jealous I will be of people who are fighting for positions that I used to be fighting for? I cannot say that yet, but I can tell you that I'm proud and happy to be part of a team like Williams and to join a project that the team has trusted me to help them in that recovery process,” he added later.

Furthermore, he also opened up on being the fourth driver to drive for Ferrari, McLaren, and Williams.

“I think if you had asked me when I was 10 years old and I started to fall in love with Formula 1, which teams I would have loved to drive for one day, I would have picked those three,” he said to Motorsport.com.
