Carlos Sainz, former Ferrari driver, expressed confidence that Lewis Hamilton will be competitive with Ferrari in his debut season, stating the team is ready for a championship challenge. Sainz, who joined Williams for 2025, remarked that Hamilton's achievements and background enhance the likelihood of success. Sainz emphasized the importance of Hamilton's adaptation to Ferrari's car and team. Meanwhile, Williams is undergoing a rebuilding phase and anticipates improved performance with their new car in 2025, despite facing challenges and upcoming regulation changes that could affect drivers in various ways.
When I left Ferrari I did feel the team and Charles were ready to fight for a world championship and with Lewis joining that chance is only going to increase.
When I look at Lewis's results and his background and what he has achieved, I can only say that there will be a very high chance that he is going to be competitive for Ferrari.
There's definitely been discussions about it. We're still ongoing about how we want to set out what we say around it, he said. It is a delicate matter.
However Sainz, his Thai-British teammate Alex Albon and the team principal, James Vowles, were all confident they had made significant steps forward with this year's car.
