In his Formula 1 career to date, the 29-year-old has achieved three race victories, 23 podiums, over 1,100 career points and is currently sitting fifth in this season\u2019s Drivers\u2019 Championship.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After becoming the only non-Red Bull Racing driver to achieve a race victory in 2023, Sainz most recently took victory at this year\u2019s Australian Grand Prix, just ten days after surgery for appendicitis, and has scored four further podiums so far this season. Sainz has had no shortage of suitors, with Williams, Sauber\/Audi and Alpine all keen to get his signature \u2013 but it was James Vowles\u2019 Williams project that ultimately got the Spaniard\u2019s seal of approval.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sainz said Williams is the right place for him to continue his Formula 1 journey and vows to bring the team to the front of the grid. \u201cI am very happy to announce that I will be joining Williams Racing from 2025 onwards. It is no secret that this year\u2019s driver market has been exceptionally complex for various reasons and that it has taken me some time to announce my decision. However, I am fully confident that Williams is the right place for me to continue my F1 journey and I am extremely proud of joining such a historic and successful team, where many of my childhood heroes drove in the past and made their mark on our sport,\" he said in a statement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"The ultimate goal of bringing Williams back to where it belongs, at the front of the grid, is a challenge that I embrace with excitement and positivity. I am convinced that this team has all the right ingredients to make history again and starting on January 1 I will give my absolute best to drive Williams forward alongside every single member of the team,\" Sainz added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
