For Sainz, the change from Ferrari\u2019s prancing horse to Williams\u2019 storied blue and white was always going to be a significant shift, but what stood out most was the team\u2019s undying enthusiasm despite a rough end to their 2024 campaign.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Speaking at a recent Q&A session with Team Principal James Vowles at the Williams factory, the four-time Grand Prix winner shared his initial impressions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cHonestly, very positive,\u201d Sainz said of his first days in Williams colours. \u201cI think we had a very productive two days of testing, and I have to thank everyone who made that possible. The filming day on Monday helped a lot to ensure that on Tuesday we were straight into work. That meant I could use that full Abu Dhabi tyre test to my advantage\u2014and to our advantage as a team.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Williams endured a difficult end to their 2024 season, with multiple crashes testing the resolve of the team. Yet, as Sainz stepped into his new garage, he found a squad undeterred by setbacks. \u201cThe thing that impressed me the most was just how motivated everyone was,\u201d he said. \u201cEven at the end of the year, after a tough run of races, with a lot of hard work at the factory and the track to keep the two cars running, the enthusiasm was still there.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I\u2019ve done that Abu Dhabi test with other teams before, and I know how exhausted people can get after a triple-header. But at Williams, I saw smiling faces everywhere. People wanted to be involved, wanted to collaborate, and wanted to make that test as positive as possible. Honestly, I was extremely impressed.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
