Carlos Sainz responds to speculation that he's signed for Williams.
Mercedes remain an outside bet, with Toto Wolff likely to opt for Andrea Kimi Antonelli if he’s unable to pursueAccording to a couple of reports in the Spanish press, they claimed that Sainz had decided to join Williams , with the move likely to be announced in Barcelona later this month.
But speaking ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix on Thursday, Sainz dismissed the rumours suggesting he’s committed to Grove. “I’ve known about it for quite some time, so it’s not new,” Sainz said on Perez’s new contract. “Nothing to add. There are still several options on the table and we’ll see how it goes.”
He added: “The only thing I can say is that nothing has been closed. I’ve seen articles in the media saying that I’ve signed. It makes me laugh, months ago they were saying I had signed for Mercedes or Red Bull, and now that’s obviously not going to happen. Now people are saying I’ve signed for Williams and I laugh.
“Because this then doesn’t get punished. I don’t mean the journalists who are here, who are inside F1 and know when something has been signed. But I worry that people can get away with that sort of thing. When I have something to announce, you will be the first to know and I will speak openly.”However, it seems like his two options are teams that have struggled to make the top 10 in 2024.“I can say that all the options I have on the table are good,” Sainz explained.
