F1TV's Laurence Barretto has stated that according to his sources, Carlos Sainz will likely appear in either Kick-Sauber or Williams next year.
Fernando Alonso's contract extension with Aston Martin closes the possibility of a move for Carlos Sainz.
Sources report that Williams and Kick Sauber are still the most likely places for the Spaniard. Unless, of course, "Red Bull" decides to make him Max Verstappen's teammate again," Barreto wrote on his "X" page.
It should be noted that Audi bought Kik-Zauber, and in 2026 it will officially become the factory team of the German company. As for Williams, Alex Albon is under contract with them until 2025, so Sainz could replace Logan Sargent there.
