CALOS SAINS, Communicating with London in front of the show F1 75 Live, shared his impressions of the beginning of work with Williams – this is the fifth formula 1 team, for which the Spanish racer will play for 11 seasons in the World Cup.
Carlos Sayns: “For ten years I collaborated with half a half teams of the championship. I don’t know whether it is good or bad, but it gives me rich experience, I know how different teams work and how it develops.
Now I have moved from the Italian team to the British, and this is the most significant change, but with Nothing is connected with him that I have never dealt with earlier. This is an interesting and new challenge, and it inspires me. I want to enjoy work and completely surrender to her. In Williams, I already feel at home.
If we talk about the car, I can only say about the December tests in Abu Dhabi. The biggest difference that you pay attention to when changing commands is an engine. His vibrations, his sound. Although, of course, I intend to understand all the features of the work of the chassis, aerodynamics and tires, the only thing I have to really adapt to is the Mercedes power plant.
This is the most important change, because we must study, because it is necessary How this engine works, how it interacts with the ERS system, what are the features of various kinds of procedures, including security related to.
Based on my experience, I can say that you usually have only three days of tests to adapt to a new car. At the same time, each racer has been working behind the wheel for only one and a half days, and during this time it is necessary to figure out all the tricks and nuances, simulating all possible situations. But this does not mean that I can not be competitive from the very first races of the season.
But I will be surprised if in Australia we will have the opportunity to fight for the podium. You know that for Williams 2025 it will be transitional, we have repeatedly said that we are aiming at the 2026th. We hope that it is then that new opportunities will open before us, and we will be able to reduce the lag from larger commands.
, in the qualifications of the team of the middle of the Peloton, inferior to the leaders no more than three or four tenths, but to play these three or four tenths very much Difficult. It will not be easy to break into the prize ten, but I am ready to fight. If you suddenly manage to go up to the podium, I will only be glad, but I don’t count on it. ”
