Spanish driver Carlos Sainz achieved a significant milestone in his Formula 1 career by securing his first podium finish for the Williams team in Azerbaijan.
Sainz, who lost his seat at Ferrari to Lewis Hamilton this year, finished third behind race winner Max Verstappen and George Russell.
This was Williams' first podium in over four years, marking a memorable day for the team.
Sainz started second on the grid after a strong qualifying performance.
While Mercedes' George Russell finished second, Sainz in the other Mercedes secured the third spot.
Sainz was elated with the result, stating, 'I cannot describe how happy I am, how good this feels.
This is even better than my first ever podium that I did.' He added that the result was a testament to the team's progress and that they are 'on the rise.' The podium finish is a significant boost for Sainz, who has had a mixed start to the season with his new team, and it nearly doubled his points tally for the entire season.
The race also saw a tough day for Lewis Hamilton, who finished in eighth place.
The result in Baku reinforces the ongoing competitive dynamic in F1 and shows that the Williams team is heading in the right direction, a fact that Sainz himself acknowledged.
Sainz's performance, along with the team's strong showing, suggests that Williams could be a team to watch in the remaining races of the season.
