SHOCKING: HOW BRIATORE STOPPED CARLOS SAINZ FRIM SIGNING WITH WILLIAMS

HOW FLAVIO BRIATORE INTERVENED TO STOP CARLOS SAINZ FROM SIGNING WITH WILLIAMS

A remarkable revelation has emerged regarding Carlos Sainz’s highly publicized move to Williams. According to the latest season of Netflix’s Drive to Survive, Sainz was on the cusp of signing with Williams before a last-ditch intervention by Flavio Briatore, advisor to Alpine, changed the course of events.

The drama unfolded during the Spanish Grand Prix weekend, where Sainz was poised to announce a deal with Williams for the 2025 season. Williams chief James Vowles had been in talks with Sainz’s manager, Carlos Onoro, and a meeting had been scheduled to finalize the contract.

However, in a stunning twist, Sainz failed to appear at the meeting, citing a phone call from Briatore as the reason for his sudden change of heart. “Flavio called me,” Sainz revealed, as the cameras captured the dramatic events unfolding.

Briatore’s intervention proved to be a turning point in Sainz’s decision-making process. The Alpine advisor presented Sainz with an alternative plan, one that involved rebuilding the Alpine team with Sainz at its helm.

The Spanish driver was clearly torn between the two options, but ultimately decided to sign with Williams. However, the delay caused by Briatore’s intervention had given Alpine hope that they could still persuade Sainz to join their ranks.

In the end, Sainz put pen to paper with Williams, but the drama surrounding his decision serves as a reminder of the intense negotiations and backroom dealings that often characterize the world of Formula 1.

As Sainz prepares for the new season with Williams, fans will be eager to see how he performs. One thing is certain, however: the drama surrounding his move to Williams will be remembered for a long time to come.
