Report: Sergio Perez's management in Williams talks as Carlos Sainz's future remains unclear

Sergio Perez's management has reportedly opened talks with Williams about a potential 2027 Formula 1 seat, according to Japanese outlet Auto Sport Web. The discussions are contingent on Carlos Sainz's departure, with the Spaniard's future at Williams uncertain after a difficult 2025 season in which he has scored only six points across 11 races, sitting 15th in the drivers' standings. Perez, who has returned to F1 with Cadillac, appears to be exploring additional opportunities across the grid.
