Carlos Sainz
Williams
Carlos Sainz Jr. is regarded as one of the grid’s sharpest strategists and tyre managers — smooth on the brakes and clinical in wheel-to-wheel combat. Son of rally legend Carlos Sainz, he has won grands prix with Ferrari and McLaren. The 2025 season with Williams yielded 64 points and ninth in the drivers’ standings — including several giant-killing Saturdays — as the Grove team enjoyed its most competitive package in years.
