Nico Rosberg has offered advice to 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz about how he can secure a drive with Mercedes for the 2025 F1 season.

Sainz is looking for a 2025 seat after Ferrari decided to let the Spaniard go in order to sign 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton from Mercedes next season.

Mercedes are searching for a replacement for the seven-time world champi🥃on and Sainz has been heavily linked with a switch to the German manufactur🐬er.

However, Mercedes’ highly-rated teenage protege and Formula 2 rookie Andrea Kimi Antonelli is believed to be their favoured choice to partner 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell.

When asked what Sainz must do to earn the Mercedes drive, 2016 world chﷺampion Rosberg told Sky Sports F1: “It’s very easy. He 🐽needs to offer just a one-year contract.

“With an option, then, on Toto’s side. Of course, it’s not a nice posit🙈ion to be in for Carlos because he deserves better.

“But from Toto’s perspecti🃏ve, it is likely he will want to keep the flexibility for the year after that for possibly bringing in someone like Antonelli, or even a Max Verstappen. There are a lot of rumours.

“If🧸 Carlos wants to drive for Mercedes, he has to off🌊er to do it for one year with an unknown after that.

“It’s not easy.🐓 It’s not nice. But that’s what he has to do.”

Red Bull have confirmed they are talking to Sainz about a possible move to the reigning world champions in 2025, with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez’s contract expiring at the end of the year.

Audi/Sauber and Williams are understood to be alternative option⛦🔴s for Sainz.

Providing an update on his future ahead of the Chinese Grand Prix, Sainz said: "I think for sure all my best options are still open, which I ♋think is a positive thing and something that obviously requires a bit of time, givꦇen the situation of the market.

"I think it's going to take some time for ever🍨yone to make their own mind and their own decisions, but the good options are still open."
