Big decisions for Sainz
With Mercedes and McLaren off the table and uncertainties surrounding Red Bull, Sainz's eyes may turn toward Williams, especially if his desired stay at Ferrari proves unattainable.
Williams, currently with Alex Albon's contract concluding, may be in search of a new lead driver.
Alternatively, they could explore the prospect of pairing the Thai driver with Sainz, creating a formidable partnership for the team.
“As Williams’ star continues to rise, the British team could be a potential destination for him [Carlos Sainz] too," Barretto wrote.
