Carlos Sainz to take part in Abu Dhabi test

Williams Racing are pleased to announce that Carlos Sainz will join the team for the upcoming Abu Dhabi end-of-season test — marking the first steps in his preparations for the 2025 season.

This early opportunity allows both Carlos and Williams to begin building their relationship together ahead of next term.

The test session at Yas Marina Circuit will provide a valuable chance for the Spaniard to start integrating into his new team environment, when he drives the FW46 for the first time.

Carlos is set to represent Williams alongside Alex Albon in 2025, forming one of the most formidable driver line-ups on the grid.

The 30-year-old has enjoyed an impressive Formula 1 career to date, having secured 25 podium finishes and four race victories while driving for Toro Rosso, Renault, McLaren and Scuderia Ferrari.

His last Grand Prix triumph came as recently as October, when he finished in top spot at the 2024 Mexico City GP.

We look forward to teaming up with Carlos in the United Arab Emirates next month.
