168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz is reportedly being pressured for a final decisi⛄on on his 2025 drive by Audi.

The German powerhouses will enter F1 properly in 2026 but, this year and nex✤t, ar🎃e running as Sauber.

Valtteri Bottas and Guanyu ꧃Zhou are their current drivers but Audi have their own ideas.

Sainz is top of the liꦐst but Audi are now “pushing” him to confirm whether he will join or not, German publication  reports.

Sainz will lose his Fܫerrari driveཧ to Lewis Hamilton in 2025 but is attracting plenty of interest from up and down the grid.

His grand pr▨ix victories in Singapore and Australia are the only two wins from a non-Red Bull driver since 2022.

𓃲Mercedes must find ꦿa replacement for Hamilton so Sainz would represent a straightforward choice.

Red Bull could also look to Sainz if they choose to get rid of✅ Sergio Perez.

But Aston Martin have vanished as an opt🌄ion because Fernando Alonso ignored possible interest fromꦛ Mercedes or Red Bull to sign a new long-term contract.

Sain♉z knows that joining Sauber in 2025 - ahead of th𝕴e team becoming Audi in 2026 when the new regulations kick in - represents a longer-term project.

Audi have other options if Sainz says no.

Nico Hulkenberg, who has impressed for Haas in the early rounds of this season, is a German driver who could spearhead the German manufacturer’s ent𝕴ry.

Audi are also aware of the availability of Alpine duꦆo Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon, who are among the many drivers to be out of contract at the end of this year.

Yuki Tsunoda of RB is also on Audi’s radar.
