PHOTOS: Sainz's 2025 helmet revealed: a throwback to his McLaren era?
Carlos Sainz' 2025 season will be a year of adaptation, not only to his new team, but also to his expectations since his debut for Williams will see him race a bit further behind than what he was used to at Ferrari.
However the Spaniard seems to be making a clear statement of intentions with his helmet colour scheme for the 2025 season. Sainz recently spoke of the connection he felt intuitively between his McLaren and Williams prospects, which also helped him make the decision to driver for the British team lead by James Vowles.
Indeed, Sainz had mentioned he felt McLaren was going to be successful, due to the people that were behind the project, which resulted in the papaya team winning its first Constructors' title in 2024, with them set to fight to defend its prize in 2025 and also vy for the Drivers' crown with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri at the recently revealed MCL39. Insightfully, though, the people and Vowles' vision were the reasons behind him signing for Williams for 2025.
Now Sainz has made his helmet reveal ahead of the 2025 season start and it's oddly similar to the one he wore in his first season for McLaren back in 2019. A statement of intention? Fate's prediction veiled as a random occurrence? Who's to say. However, Sainz and co., will certainly hope it's the latter.
