Christian Horner has opened the door for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz to return to Red Bull by naming him as a candidate for a 2025 F1 seat with the team.

Sainz, who was a product of the Red Bull junior programme and made his F1 debut with sister team Toro Rosso in 2015, claimed a superb victory at the Austrꦺalian Grand Prix two weeks after an appendectomy.

The Spaniard is searching for a drive for 2025 after losing his Ferrari seat to168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Lewis Hamilton, who will complete a shock switch from Me💛𝄹rcedes next season.

Red Bull team principal Horner did not rule out the prospect of his side signing Sainz to partner 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen following his stunning win in Melbourne.

When directly asked whe🐻ther Red Bull would take Sainz back, Horner replied: "Look, I mean based on a performance like that you couldn't rule any possibil🌠ity out.”

Red Bull have multiple options for 2025, including keeping hold of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez, or promoting 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Daniel Ricciardo or 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Yuki Tsunoda, who race for sister team RB.

Horner suggested Red Bull will also consider options outside o💃f their own driver pool.

“Yuki’s a very quick driver, we know that, but I think we want to feel the 🐽best pairing that we can in Red Bull Racing and sometimes you've got to look outside the pool as well,” he added.

"You've had a very fast unemployed driver win today൩. The market is reasonably fluid with certain drivers.

"Carlos is the only driver that's beaten Red Bull [in the last two years], so he appears to be our neme🥂sis.”

However, Horner insisted Red Bull are in no “desperate rush” to make a decision as he praised the early performances of current inℱcumbent Perez.

“I think you just want to take the time and obviously Checo was compromised today,” he said. “He’s had a great start in the season toღo so we're not in any desperate rush."
