Sainz hints Williams stay despite Audi rumoursCarlos Sainz has given his clearest indication yet that he in fact intends to remain with Williams in 2027, despite months of criticism of the team's current car and persistent links with Audi. Carlos Sainz, British GP 2026© WilliamsThe Spaniard has repeatedly admitted Williams has failed with its 2026 project and doubts even the lighter 'B' chassis arriving in Baku will transform the situation. Asked by Spanish reporters whether the approaching summer break could prompt him to consider another destination, Sainz was emphatic. I'm fully committed to helping the team change direction, and the team knows that my priority is to try and help and stay at Williams. Sainz, however, said his own performances have been obscured by Williams' lack of competitiveness this year.
