In the wake of his first Williams podium in Baku, Carlos Sainz paid a heartfelt tribute to race engineer Gaetan Jego, calling him the hardest-working engineer he’s known in Formula 1.
The moment behind the podium
The Baku result was a milestone for Williams and a validation of the Sainz–Jego partnership. Their post-race exchanges captured the intensity of the weekend and the graft behind the scenes that helped convert opportunity into silverware.
Why it matters
Engineer-driver chemistry is often the hidden edge in tight grids. Sainz’s praise hints at a relationship that is clicking — a crucial ingredient as Williams builds on recent highs and chases consistency in the closing flyaway rounds.
What’s next
With Singapore’s demanding streets up next, Williams will look to channel that cohesion into another clean, high-execution weekend.
