In numbers: 10 statistics about Carlos

Carlos Sainz has racked up plenty of achievements across his career in motorsport — and he’ll be looking to add to that collection with Williams Racing from 2025 and beyond.

The 29-year-old has been a mainstay in Formula 1 over the past decade, putting points on the board for a host of teams since his debut campaign in 2015.

Here are 10 key statistics about our newest recruit...

Carlos has won three Grands Prix while driving for Scuderia Ferrari.

His first triumph came at Silverstone in 2022, before claiming top spot in Singapore the following year.

And he secured his most recent victory in Round 3 of the current campaign, when Ferrari went one-two down under at the Australian Grand Prix.

Carlos has amassed a total of 23 top-three finishes over the course of his career.

The Spaniard’s first time on the podium was back in 2019, when he placed third at the Brazilian Grand Prix while driving for McLaren.

Carlos’ best points haul for a single campaign is 246, which came in 2022 with Scuderia Ferrari.

He currently sits 5th in the Drivers’ Championship, matching Carlos’ best finish over the course of a season.

He achieved that placing in both 2022 and 2023.

That’s the number of points that Carlos has accumulated in Formula 1.

The half point came when he finished P10 at the 2021 Belgian Grand Prix — a race where all drivers’ points were halved, after heavy rain stopped them completing 75% of the distance.

Carlos recorded the fastest lap at this year’s British Grand Prix, with a time of 1:28.293.

That’s the fourth time that he has registered the fastest lap in his Formula 1 career.

Rewinding the clock back to before Carlos’ Formula 1 debut, the Madrid native won Formula Renault 3.5 Series 3.5 in 2014.

He recorded an impressive seven race wins en route to the title.

Carlos has started races in pole position on five occasions, most recently at the 2023 Singapore Grand Prix.

An experienced driver, Carlos has started a total of 196 Grands Prix across 10 Formula 1 seasons.

Scuderia Ferrari is the fourth Formula 1 team that Carlos has driven for, with Williams Racing set to take that total to five.

He previously represented Toro Rosso, Renault and McLaren.
