In 2026 Formula One is implementing a set of revamped technical regulations which will see major changes in aerodynamics, chassis, with fuel and tyres also expected to be altered as well.
However, one of the most dramatic shifts will be seen in the power units, and this is an area in particular in which Mercedes have apparently excelled at going into next season.
During an interview with El Partidazo de COPE, Sainz spoke about the German team's engine. “Yes, I have a lot of confidence in the Mercedes engine.”

“It’s actually one of the main reasons I chose Williams for this new regulation change. I knew we’d be running the Mercedes power unit, and everything I’ve heard about it has been positive, and still is,” added Sainz referring to the paddock buzz that tips Mercedes as the leading force in terms of the engine.

It looks like Perez (or his agent) did his homework before signing with Williams.
For a long time, he had been courted by AUDI.
