The Scuderia let Sainz go having secured Hamilton’s services to drive alongside Charles Leclerc and the Spaniard, at the launch of the new Williams FW47, said his former team are capable of enabling Hamilton to make a title tilt in his debut season with Ferrari.
Sainz has joined Williams for 2025 after three years with Ferrari, including last season when the team finished with a very competitive car and claimed second place in the constructors’ championship.
Ferrari are in a strong position to enable Lewis Hamilton to fight for his eighth Formula One world championship, according to their former driver Carlos Sainz, who was replaced by the Briton this season.
“When I left Ferrari I did feel the team and Charles were ready to fight for a world championship and with Lewis joining that chance is only going to increase,” he said.
Albon also noted there was no little disquiet among drivers over the FIA’s recently announced rule amendments that will impose heavy fines for swearing and that may even lead to race bans.
