Carlos Sainz Remains Defiant Despite "Overweight" Williams Rumors
"Valtteri has been very adamant about his commitment towards Williams since the beginning of this season, especially because of the change in the regulations for next year, and the trust he has in them," said Coton. "There is a bit of an unfinished story between those two, and he wants to commit as much as he can to the team.
"He is in F1 to win, the team, of course, has the same objective, and both are working hard to achieve it. Williams is a great team, with a lot of potential," he continued. "They have demonstrated in the past two years what they can do, and there is more to come. And if I look at Valtteri's commitment towards the team, the team should be happy to have him."
Esteban Gutierrez waiting on new Haas deal
Another of Coton's clients, Esteban Gutierrez is also waiting to sign a new deal, with the Mexican currently tied to Haas for just this season.
Gutierrez has had a tough season with the American team so far, but Cotton has said that the team are looking for results from him before they commit to anything.
"I had an initial discussion with Gunther [Steiner, team principal] recently, and we decided to concentrate first on getting more results for the team, but also for Esteban – who deserves some," Coton said. "So we have decided to let things roll along until a certain point."
"Esteban trusts the team. Yes, he had some hiccups technically, but the team has worked pretty hard to try to erase that, and it's starting to show."
"The team knows what they have, other people in the paddock know the potential of Esteban, and he has shown his talent when he's not had any problems."
"He is being very calm about everything, very mature in his approach, and he knows his time will come because he is pushing hard."
