I would like you to introduce your source that states Sainz is good in the wet.

Sainz has the ego of a champion but the hands of a midfielder. Everyone knows that he has nowhere to go but is "thinking" about whether or not to stay at Williams. When he was a free agent, he stated how privileged he was that he could choose his team on the grid. The truth were Audi or Williams but he was crying about why Merc or Red Bull weren't interested in him.

Rumors at least seems to exist

🚨 | Sergio Pérez's management have reportedly held preliminary talks with Williams.

Depending on what Carlos Sainz decides about his future, an opening could emerge at Williams.

The situation at Williams is therefore being closely monitored.

Frankly, I think he'd be better off staying at Andretti Racing. Williams is a --- show.
Honda!

Where did I say that he is "good" in the wet. I just don't think he's as bad as you're making out. And every driver in F1 has the ego of a champion, otherwise they would never make it to the sport.

Max Verstappen commited to 2030 at RBR. Carlos and Alex extend at Williams.

People saying silly season is over but on the contrary. Still room for some shuffles on the grid.

Still questions about Ocon's seat. And never say never at Racing Bulls. Have Alpine confirmed both their drivers yet?
