Carlos Sainz supports a daring strategy for the racing prospects of Williams junior Will Green.

Carlos Sainz has encouraged Williams Formula 1 junior Will Green to focus on exploring the limits rather than solely aiming for consistency as the 13-year-old prepares to move up from karting to single-seaters.
Green was officially named a driver in the Williams Racing Academy in December 2024 and recently achieved the title of 2026 Karting European Championship junior champion.
In a conversation with the young karting champion, the Spanish driver shared insights about his philosophy on junior racing development, technical input, and physical readiness.
"Don't hesitate to make mistakes. It's preferable to push your limits and encounter errors than to play it too safe," Sainz conveyed in the video on the Williams YouTube channel. "At your age, it's crucial to absorb as much knowledge as you can. So, don't hold back.
"Don't shy away from making mistakes, taking risks, or attempting overtakes and last-lap maneuvers that might be overly ambitious. I would say this is the perfect time to take those chances, as that’s when you’ll gain the most experience.
"Always aim to be as close to the edge as you can. Of course, avoid doing anything reckless. If you can prevent foolish errors, do so. But take risks, because when they succeed, you gain a tremendous boost in confidence, and that's where your skills really flourish. You become not only skilled but also self-assured."
The 32-year-old also reminisced about his own transition from karting. "I found the shift from karting to cars to be quite seamless for me. It didn’t feel unusual," he noted.
"One day, you will get into a car. They will instruct you on how to operate the gears and everything involved. The first couple of laps may feel odd, but soon your instinct to push flat out in whatever they provide will take over, and you will adapt."
