2023 Fantasy Outlook
Sainz had his best season in Formula One last year scoring his first victory, 10 podiums, three pole positions, and finishing fifth for the second year in a row. Like teammate Leclerc, last year started brightly for Sainz with three podium finishes from the first five races. He similarly suffered from the squad's mid-season slump, though. In addition to the team's woes, Sainz endured four DNFs due to crashes and a further two more due to mechanical issues. Eliminating those would help him be a bigger player in the championship battle, which he should be capable of considering his pace. Sainz said that he has come to grips with this new generation of car and is looking to deliver more consistency in 2023. He will need the best from the team to be among the championship contenders, but at a minimum we would hope to see Sainz winning multiple races this season. Read Past Outlooks

Car No. 55 Williams-Mercedes
Retires due to damage
Formula One
April 14, 2025
Sainz retired after the 45th lap of the Bahrain Grand Prix F1 race at the Bahrain International Circuit on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Sainz's weekend was a mix of good and bad. He reached Q3 for only the second time and beat teammate Alex Albon in qualifying for the first time. However, he slid back from his eighth-place start and had several clashes with opposing drivers. The first came on an attempted overtake of Kimi Antonelli, though Sainz drew a controversial 10-second penalty for forcing his rival off the track. Later, he went wheel-to-wheel with Yuki Tsunoda and suffered significant damage to the side of his car, ultimately forcing his retirement from the race. Despite the poor finish, the weekend should be considered a step forward overall.
