卡洛斯·塞恩斯确认2027年继续效力威廉姆斯
威廉姆斯车队宣布与卡洛斯·塞恩斯签署多年续约协议,确认其将在2027赛季继续效力,此前一天队友亚历克斯·阿尔本仅续约一年。

在宣布卡洛斯·塞恩斯以多年合同续约之后,威廉姆斯车队确认了2027赛季F1的车手阵容
这位西班牙车手的消息是在其队友亚历克斯·阿尔本同意仅续约一个赛季的第二天传出的,下赛季将是这位泰国-英国混血车手在格罗夫车队的第六个赛季
对于塞恩斯来说,2027年将是他在威廉姆斯车队的第三个赛季。尽管2026年赛季表现糟糕,车队在11轮比赛后仅积11分排名第九,且最近五场比赛一分未得,但续约仍然达成。
“我非常高兴地宣布,我将继续与威廉姆斯F1车队的大家庭同行,”塞恩斯说。他从法拉利加盟威廉姆斯,并在法拉利期间赢得了四场大奖赛。
“我真心相信组成这支车队的每一个人,无论是工厂里的还是赛道上的工作人员,也相信幕后正在进行的投入和辛勤努力。”
“我们具备携手扭转局面的所有条件。我会像第一天一样全力以赴,帮助威廉姆斯重回它应有的位置。”
“我期待与车队一起创造更多回忆。”

考虑到2026年的糟糕表现,塞恩斯的续约承诺起初可能令人意外。2026年他未能延续2025年的势头——那年他的两个领奖台帮助威廉姆斯获得车队第五名,这是自2017年以来的最佳年度排名。
这支英国车队在2026年规则改革时推出了一辆超重的赛车,减重成为整个赛季的主要任务,或许因此牺牲了空气动力学方面的研发。
因此,外界猜测演变成了纷争:塞恩斯的合同将于2026年底到期,他可能想在明年寻求转投其他车队,但他唯一的选择只会是另一支中游车队。
因此,这位31岁的车手将留在威廉姆斯车队,征战其征战一级方程式的第50个赛季;威廉姆斯在此期间已赢得九次车队总冠军、七次车手总冠军和114场大奖赛胜利。
威廉姆斯认为,塞恩斯的续约“体现了双方建立的信任,因为威廉姆斯继续在挑战一级方程式并延续其辉煌历史所需的各个领域进行投资”。
车队领队詹姆斯·沃尔斯补充道:“从他加入的那一刻起,卡洛斯在方向盘后的天赋以及在工厂里的投入对这个项目都极具价值——他与他的工程师们日复一日地工作,只为寻找每一毫秒。”

“他是这支车队的领袖,我非常高兴他能看到我们继续重建车队的过程中一切皆有可能。”
“脱颖而出的不仅是他的比赛技巧和速度,还有他为了追求高性能在幕后所做的努力。”
“塞恩斯与我们在威廉姆斯拥有的信念和抱负相同,并且每天都在努力将其实现。”
“和亚历克斯一起,我真心相信我们拥有发车阵容中最强大的车手组合之一,车队也有能力一起争夺每一分性能。”

Carlos Sainz to remain at Williams for F1 2027
The four-time grand prix winner has signed a multi-year extension, despite a torrid season with Williams in F1 2026
Williams has confirmed its driver line-up for the 2027 Formula 1 season after announcing the commitment of Carlos Sainz on a multi-year deal.
The Spaniard’s news comes a day after team-mate Alex Albon agreed just a one-season extension for next year, which will be the Thai-Briton’s sixth campaign with the Grove outfit.
For Sainz, 2027 will be his third season at Williams and comes despite a torrid 2026 as the team is ninth in the standings after 11 rounds, with just 11 points and none from the last five races.
“I’m thrilled to announce my continued journey with the Williams F1 Team family,” said Sainz, who joined from Ferrari where he won four grands prix.
“I truly believe in the people that form this team, both at the factory and at the race tracks, and the investments and hard work that are happening in the background.
“We have what it takes to turn this around together. I’m as committed as I was on day one to helping get Williams back to where it belongs.
“I look forward to creating more memories with the team.”

Sainz’s commitment may come as an initial surprise considering how poor 2026 has gone, failing to kick on from 2025 where his two podiums helped Williams finish fifth - its highest championship position since 2017.
The British outfit started the 2026 regulation change with an overweight car and cutting this has been its main focus throughout the season, perhaps at the expense of developing aerodynamically.
So speculation became strife that Sainz was potentially looking to move on for next year with his contract expiring at the end of 2026, but his only option would have been another midfield team.
The 31-year-old will therefore remain for Williams’ 50th season in F1, having since won nine constructors’ titles, seven drivers’ championships and 114 grand prix victories.
Williams reckons Sainz’s extension “reflects the trust both sides have built as Williams continues investing in all areas needed to challenge in F1 and add to its legacy”.
Team boss James Vowles added: "From the moment he joined, Carlos’ talent behind the steering wheel and dedication back at the factory have been extremely valuable for this project - working day in, day out with his engineers to find every millisecond.

“He is a leader of this team, and I’m thrilled that he can see what’s possible as we continue to rebuild it.
“It’s not just his racecraft and speed that stand out, but the work he does behind the scenes in the pursuit of high performance.
“Carlos shares the belief and ambition we have at Williams and is pushing every day to deliver it.
“Along with Alex, I truly believe we have one of the strongest line-ups on the grid, and a team capable of fighting for every ounce of performance together."
