Carlos Sainz has repeatedly said he will not rush to pick a team for next season. 1997 world champion Jacques Villeneuve believes this is dangerous…
Jacques Villeneuve: “Maybe Carlos still hopes for Mercedes, that Antonelli is not good enough yet and his place in the team will be free for a few more years. But this indecisiveness can work against him if Carlos realizes at some point that he is the only one who does not have a contract yet.
If you get a good offer but keep postponing the decision, you make people angry: they stop contacting you. Eventually, you sign very late and make it clear to the team that they were only a third option. This is also not the best solution.
When he came to McLaren, the team started to make progress. Then he left and the team seemed stuck and lost when Daniel Ricciardo arrived. Then Carlos moved to Ferrari and they started to improve.
“He has a great work ethic, great feedback and communicates effectively with engineers. He is fast, competitive and knows how to work under pressure. These are important qualities. He will be perfect for Williams, who need two drivers like that. They are on their way up.”
