Carlos Sainz has signed a long-term deal with Williams, but former Williams team manager Peter Windsor believes this could be a “big mistake” if Ferrari isn’t included in a rumored exit clause. Windsor questions why Sainz wouldn’t keep Ferrari as an option, especially given the fickle nature of F1 seat availability.
