Sainz Urges Williams to 'Take It Personal' After 2026 Slow Start

Carlos Sainz has delivered a motivational message to the Williams factory staff, urging them to 'take it personal' following the team's difficult start to the 2026 F1 season.

Following a challenging beginning to the 2026 season, the Spanish driver emphasized the need for extra determination after Williams arrived at pre-season testing in Bahrain behind schedule, having missed crucial private testing in Barcelona.

Sainz's message comes after securing two podium finishes with the Grove outfit in his debut year with the team in 2025, which had raised expectations for the current campaign despite the disappointing start. macnevers-and-co.beer
