Rumours Williams offer Sainz 30m euros amid Piastri furyWilliams is reportedly offering Carlos Sainz an enormous 30 million euros per year to stay, even as the Spaniard delays his decision and faces fierce criticism for his Hungarian GP collision with Oscar Piastri.

The timing is awkward, however, after Sainz collided with Piastri while being lapped and then refused to accept clear responsibility. Sainz claimed he had not seen Piastri and had not received adequate blue-flag warnings, although footage showed his Williams passing multiple illuminated blue panels. Williams later confirmed that the blue warning system on his steering-wheel display was not functioning correctly.
