Carlos Sainz letter to the Williams family

Dear Williams Family,

As we close out a remarkable first season together, I want to express my sincere gratitude to each and every one of you for the incredible welcome I have received since day one at Grove.

I knew I was joining a very special team, but our first year together has exceeded all my expectations.

This specially designed print is a small gesture of appreciation, and I hope it serves as a reminder of what we accomplished together during 2025.

It is thanks to your dedication and commitment that we have been able to achieve our most ambitious goal this year: securing P5 in the constructors’ championship, while also having a bit of fun along the way with the podiums in Baku and Qatar, and the sprint podium in Austin.

Those highlights are not mine they are a direct result of your efforts and our teamwork, and I truly hope you feel as proud as I do of every point we have scored.

We have laid solid foundations for the upcoming season, and I cannot wait to go racing again.

But make no mistake, there is still a long road ahead before we achieve our ultimate goal of returning this team to its winning ways, to where it belongs.

After our first year together, I have no doubt that we have all the right ingredients to get there, and you can be sure I will give my absolute best to represent you on and off the track to the best of my abilities.

Be proud of what we are building together, enjoy a well-deserved rest with your loved ones, and see you in 2026 with our batteries fully recharged and ready to go again.

“Vamos!”
