The Abu Dhabi: Carlos Sainz will make his first outing with Williams during Formula One's post-season tests in Abu Dhabi on December 10, the team confirmed on Friday.

The move comes as the Spaniard prepares to transition from Ferrari, where he has spent the last three seasons, to Williams for the 2025 season. Sainz’s departure from Ferrari paves the way for seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, who is making the switch from Mercedes, to join the Scuderia next year.

The post-season test at Yas Marina will mark an important step in Sainz’s integration into the British-based Williams team.
