Carlos Sainz denies Audi rumors and reaffirms Williams commitment

Carlos Sainz has dismissed rumors regarding a potential move to Audi for the 2027 season, reaffirming his commitment to Williams Racing. Despite the team's current performance struggles, the Spanish driver stated that it is not in his nature to “abandon ship when things get tough” and confirmed he did not seriously consider other teams this year.

Alexander Albon also addressed the team dynamic, emphasizing the necessity of transparency between teammates.
