via grandprix.comRumours Williams offer Sainz 30m euros amid Piastri furyCarlos Sainz is reportedly being offered a lucrative contract by Williams worth 30 million euros annually, despite facing backlash for a collision with Oscar Piastri during the Hungarian Grand Prix. Sainz has delayed his decision regarding his future, citing the need for a calm assessment during the summer break, while also claiming he did not see Piastri due to inadequate blue-flag warnings, a statement contradicted by video evidence of his car passing blue panels. Williams confirmed a malfunction in the warning system on Sainz's steering wheel, which added to the controversy surrounding the incident.
Piastri expressed his frustration with Sainz's actions, labeling them as unacceptable, while Sainz refused to take responsibility or apologize, suggesting that Piastri should have been more cautious. Williams team principal James Vowles defended Sainz, admitting the team could have better communicated with him during the race. Despite the ongoing issues, Vowles is committed to retaining both Sainz and Alex Albon for the future, acknowledging the team's need to improve their performance and support their drivers in achieving better results.grandprix.comTue 28 Jul · 12:06 UTC
via grandprix.comPerez linked with Williams as Cadillac future cloudsSergio Perez is reportedly considering a move to Williams for the 2027 season, as his position at Cadillac appears less secure despite his strong performances. Valtteri Bottas is under contract with Cadillac for two years without a release clause, which has led to speculation about Perez potentially replacing Carlos Sainz at Williams, whose future is uncertain. Perez's contract with Cadillac is believed to only extend through 2026, prompting discussions about his next steps in Formula 1.
Cadillac has struggled in its debut season, failing to score any points and facing challenges in its development process. Perez has openly criticized the team's slow progress and reliance on external suppliers, indicating a need for significant changes. He remains hopeful about future upgrades and is focused on improving the team's performance as they look ahead to the next season.

Coulthard pointed out that late information from suppliers contributed to the team's struggles, and he doubts they will regain their previous standing this season. As a result, Williams is likely to focus on preparing for the next season rather than making significant improvements in the current one.
