Italian Grand Prix: Lewis Hamilton’s unexpected switch to Ferrari created a ripple effect which shook the 2025 Formula 1 drivers grid. Unfortunately, due to the move, Carlos Sainz had to vacate his seat at Ferrari and after months of rumours, the Spaniard announced he would be joining Williams on a multi-year deal.
Following his final Italian Grand Prix as a Ferrari driver, Sainz claimed that even though his time with the Red Brigade may be coming to an end, he will always be a Ferrari driver.
“There are many examples in the grid or in the past where every time there’s been a Ferrari driver that obviously has had also success, but also a good relationship with the tifosi, has then been remembered and has been treated really well from the tifosi all around the world, wherever they go,” Sainz said to The Athletic.
