Sainz shared his memories of negotiations with Mercedes. Williams` driver Carlos Sainz confirmed that he was in talks with several F1 teams last year - and Mercedes was among them. However, in the end, Mercedes chose Kimi Antonelli, and Sainz moved to Williams.
Was the deal with Mercedes close? Not really. Yes, at that moment we talked a lot with Toto Wolff and with many other teams. And yes, I was one of the candidates considered at Mercedes.
But how close was I to switching to Mercedes? Well, I won’t be able to ask Toto about that anymore. But I think he is very pleased with the choice in favor of Andrea Kimi Antonelli, ” said Sainz.
Verstappen is leaving for Mercedes after all - or not? What`s stopping you?
