Sainz: "If I can't join a championship team, then I'll make one..."

Carlos Sainz is fed up with top teams viewing him as if he is not a top driver. The Spaniard considers himself one, so if the mountain won't come to Muhammad...

Thus, the younger Sainz took his fate into his own hands and decided to join the elite of the Williams world champions. No matter the cost:

“I already know F1, I have drawn my conclusions, but I would rather not say more about it. Those who follow Formula 1 know exactly that some decisions are not necessarily made on a professional basis, even at the biggest teams. I told myself that if I am not allowed to join a championship-contending team, then I will go to a team where I will build a top team myself. Williams presents the perfect breeding ground for this. I had many conversations with James Vowles about what he envisions, and his vision convinced me that I will be in the right place here to achieve something great, together!

It has been six months since then, but my conviction that I am on the right path regarding my goals has only grown stronger. Everyone is working 100% to achieve our goal. I have joined a team where the human factor matters and opinions count; we are working on a long-term and motivating project focused on winning the championship title.” - said Carlos Sainz.
