After months of speculation, Sainz finally put the rumours of his transfer to just about every other F1 team on the grid to rest by announcing his move to Williams, having signed a contract last year to race with the Grove-based outfit for 2025 and 2026, with the option to extend beyond that.

Having shone during his tenure at Ferrari, Sainz heads to Williams having shared the goal of returning the team to its former glory, the outfit having achieved nine constructors' titles and seven drivers' championships since joining the sport in 1978.

One of Williams' most iconic pieces of machinery was their championship-winning FW14B from 1992, driven to title victory by F1 legend Nigel Mansell for the first and only time.
