Carlos Sainz on the Mercedes Engine for F1 2026
Carlos Sainz, a Williams driver, has shared his thoughts on the new Mercedes engine for the 2026 F1 season.
The Mercedes power unit was one of the “main reasons” he chose Williams.
Sainz notes that while the engine is promising, Williams also needs to improve its chassis for the 2026 reset.
- The 2026 season will bring significant regulatory changes to F1.
- The engine regulations will be reset to adopt more sustainable and efficient engines.
- The new engines will run on a 50/50 split between combustion engine and electrical power.
Sainz signed a multi-year agreement with Williams after being informed by Ferrari that 2024 would be his last season with the team.
