Sainz Urges Williams: 'Take It Personal'

Carlos Sainz has delivered a strong message to Williams factory staff, urging them to 'Take it personal' after a challenging start to the 2026 Formula 1 season.

The Spanish driver, who secured two podiums in his first season with the Grove-based team in 2025, addressed the factory staff following a difficult start to 2026. Williams arrived at pre-season testing in Bahrain on the back foot, having missed crucial private testing in Barcelona, which has impacted their preparation for the new season.

Sainz's motivational message comes as the team faces increased pressure to build upon their previous year's success, with high expectations already placed upon them before the season's opening race. umafrika.club
