Carlos Sainz offered his views on the Beyond the Grid podcast and talked about Lando Norris securing the Formula 1 Drivers' title last season.
Sainz is hoping to take Williams back to the front in F1
"I don't know how long it will take Williams compared to McLaren and still, what McLaren has done of becoming World Champions eventually is an extremely difficult task.
"Because even if Williams can become more competitive through the next few years, then to win is another step that is even more difficult. So congratulations to McLaren for that. But yeah, I would say Williams is in a similar point, from where McLaren were in 2019.
"[Williams is] a life project, because, I'm 31-years-old now and I feel I can enter the next few years of my career with a very clear target in mind, which is try and help this team and go back to the front of the field."
