Carlos Sainz clarifies Audi F1 interest after Williams commitment

The framing here matters: Sainz isn't denying that Audi's F1 project exists or that it has appeal, he's clarifying that his Williams deal was never under threat from it. For a driver who spent months in limbo after Ferrari dropped him, publicly reaffirming his Williams commitment signals he wants that narrative closed. It also tells you something about how loudly the Audi rumours were circulating — loudly enough that Sainz felt the need to address them directly rather than let them run.
