LONDON (Reuters) -Ferrari's Carlos Sainz will race for Williams next season after signing a multi-year deal, the Formula One team said on Monday in a major coup for a team currently ninth in the championship.
The Spaniard, who will be teammate to Alex Albon in place of U.S. racer Logan Sargeant, is leaving Ferrari at the end of the year to make way for Mercedes' seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton.
