Helmut Marko has vowed that 🔯Red Bull won’t be pressurised by Audi’s offer to Carlos Sai꧟nz.

Ferrari driver🐽 Sainz ✃will lose his seat to Lewis Hamilton in 2025 and is at the centre of the F1 driver market.

Currently a free agent, his options include Red Bull, Mercede🧸s or Sauber who will become Audi a year later.

Red Bull c🍰ould offer Sainz a drive alongsid🐟e Max Verstappen if they opt to get rid of Sergio Perez.

“Sa🥀inz is currently in great shape,” Marko toꦦld .

“I think he has a ver🐻y grea𓆉t three-year offer from Audi.

“But he has to make a decision relati𓄧vely soon. “We, on the other hand, won't make a decision soon.

♛“We won't let things li⛎ke that put us under pressure.”

The claim of a three-year offer woulꦿd take Sainz into 2027, two years into the new F1 ꦜregulations. But it would also mean a first year, next season, with Sauber.

Sainz cam൩e through the Red Bull junior programme and꧂ teamed with Verstappen briefly at Toro Rosso.

“Well, he꧃ was still very young back then,” Marko reacted.

“But now he has developed great and is showing incr꧋edible form.”

S🔯ainz is💮 the winner of the only two F1 grands prix since 2022 which Red Bull have failed to win.

Victory in Australia this season cam🍬e in the afte🍌rmath of appendix surgery.

Red Bull could opt to bring him back into th🐟e fold at the expense of Perez, whose own form has impressed this year.

Perez𒁃 has claimed three P2 finishes and a P3 last week at thꦅe Chinese Grand Prix to state his case for a new contract.

B🌼𒉰ut Audi’s interest in Sainz is holding up the driver market.

They will run🎃 as Sauber until 2026 when the new regulations come into effect.

From there, Audi intend to make an immediate splash and are pu♎🃏tting together their driver plans now.

Sainz has a relationship ♓with the manufacturer because his father won the Dakar Rally for them.

But a move to Sauber, as they will remain, in 2025 is no guarantee of a fast car in comparison to the extremely competitive Ferrari that he is curre🐻ntly fighting at the front with.
