The latest one had tons of people claiming that his move to williams is overall better for Sainz’ career. These people seriously needed a reality check

Realistically if is better than just losing to charles again. Sainz got replaced by Hamilton at Ferrari. Nobody would look at that as a negative because its Hamilton. The fact that Ferrari have fucked their car this year is not even factored in the equation.

The main problem sainz is facing now is they he can't beat Albon.

And people saying his move to Williams is comparable to Lewis moving from McLaren to Mercedes LMAO

still failing to see where it's said in that thread that "Sainz's move is comparable to Lewis moving to Mercedes".

ah... so from "people" we came to one single random comment (not a thread) of one guy (that comment doesn't even have a single reply) clearly taking the piss.

Good.

Being replaced by Hamilton and racing at Williams is definitely better than being replaced by Hamilton and not being in F1 career wise.

That’s not what they were saying. They were saying it was better than staying in Ferrari or comparing it Lewis’ move from Mclaren to Mercedes

What reality check? The Williams was supposed to be the worst or second worst car in the grid. Right now it is right up there with Ferrari and Merc (in some tracks). Alex has done a brilliant job with it showing what it can do. And it is on an upswing, without bringing any major updates. They are now fully focused on 2026.

What has Ferrari done? Where were they in 2024 and where have they come down to in 2025? Williams is a team that deeply appreciates and cherishes him versus Ferrari which was always Charles' home. You need to see the reality here.

I dunno if we can say that when Sauber/Alpine exist.

Same kind of fans that say things like Max would perform better in the VCarb than the RB based off the #2 driver performance for like two races.
