168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz is “definitely under consideration” for a Red Bull seat in F1 2025, it has been claimed.

Sainz has been left without a drive for next season following168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Lewis Hamilton’s decision to q♔uit Mercedes and join Ferrari on a multi-year deal starting in 2025.

A brilliant start to the new campaign, including an incredible victory in Australia, has seen Sainz linked with a Red Bull drive next year, with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez out of contract at the end of this season.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner recently refused to rule the Spaniard out of the frame for a seat alongside 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen.

And Sa🐎inz’s camp have reportedly already held talks with Red Bull, according to.

“Multiple sources say Red Bull have spoken to Team Sainz about a return to the Red Bull family he left during the 2017 se🍬ason to join Renault,” Barretto wrote.

"The Spaniard is 💦in the form of his life. He has finished on the podium in every race he has started this year, including a brilliant win in Australia.

“And he’s the only driver ꦺto stop a Red Bull winning since George Russell won in Brazil in 2022 for Mercedes.

“He’s definitely under consideration, but Red Bull haven’t decided if pairing him up with Verstappen again (theyܫ were team mates in their respective debut seasons in 2015) is a good idea.”

But Barretto continued: “As it stands, H꧟orner insists Checo “has the priority” and sources say that he has gained considerable kudos within the team in the way he’s approached the start of this year, which in turn has pushed him higher up in Red Bull’s thinki🐬ng.

“However, while sources admit Ricciardo’s star has lost some of its shine within Red Bull, they aren’t ruling him out just yet. And Sainz very much remains in the mix, while Fernando Alonso is of course no longer a contender, having si💯gned a new deal with Aston Martin.

“Is Verstappen staying? We know he has a contract until the end of 2028 – but there’s been𒊎 so much talk he could leave sooner… That chat🌳ter has started to die down recently – with the growing feeling being he is going to stay put.

"What he does is, of course, a key factor in deciding who is in the other seat. If Verstappen leaves, Red Bull will have to revise their thinking about their line-up entirely. For now, though, they’re working on the basis he will stay in the shor⛄t term (his contract runs up until the end of 2028) at the very least.”

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Yuki Tsunoda is not believed to be on Red Bull’s “shortlist” despite making an impressive start to th🙈e season at RB.

"He’s excelling at RB right now. His drive to seventh in Australi𝄹a was sensational, as was the way he soaked up the pressure of a nation to score a point in his home race la♑st time out in Japan,” Barretto continued.

“But sources say for now at least, he isn’t on the shortlist as a potential candidate for th𒐪e second Red Bull seat. I understand it is more likely he’s doing enough to retain his seat at RB for next year.”
