Carlos Sainz’s ‘chilling’ confession leaves Williams boss stunned
Carlos Sainz has officially settled into his new role at Williams, and early impressions suggest the Spaniard is already making an impact both on and off the track. In a behind-the-scenes video shared by the team, Sainz received a warm welcome at the Grove headquarters, where he toured the factory, met with engineers and had a candid conversation with team principal James Vowles. However, the discussion took an unexpected turn when Vowles decided to tackle a long-standing mystery that has intrigued racing fans: how Sainz manages to maintain perfect hair after every race.
Vowles humorously admitted to his post-race struggles, comparing his helmet-induced hairdo to an unfortunate bowl cut. In contrast, Sainz always steps out of his car looking effortless. Laughing at the remark, the Spaniard quickly assessed the situation. Upon learning that Vowles only washes his hair once a day, Sainz nodded approvingly before revealing his secret, or lack thereof. He insisted that he doesn’t do anything special, attributing his immaculate hair to genetics. Jokingly, he noted that his Scottish girlfriend often expresses her jealousy, watching him use just one shampoo in the shower with seemingly flawless results. Poking fun at Vowles, Sainz promised to share some exclusive hair care hacks in the future.
Aside from the lighthearted discussions, Sainz’s move to Williams has been focused on serious preparations for next season. Having tested with his new team in Abu Dhabi last year and again in Barcelona recently, the four-time Grand Prix winner was seen familiarizing himself with his new car and working closely with the engineers. Williams, keen to increase its competitiveness, is keen to have a proven race winner in its ranks.
As the team ramps up its efforts for the 2025 season, fans are eager to see how Sainz will fare in his new environment. Whether he’s managing the high-speed demands of Formula 1 or keeping his signature hair impeccable, Sainz is already making his mark at Williams and expectations are high for what he can achieve next season.
