Audi have identified two alternative options for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz should the Spaniard decide not to join the team for 2025𒀰.

According to , Sainz will have until the middle of May to decide whether he wants to join the team as 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Valtteri Bottas’ replacement.

The report outlines that 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nico Hulkenberg is just a signature away f🐻rom signing ওfor the team.

In terms of the other seat, Sauber CEO Andreas Seidl has Sainz top of his wishlist - and has gi🍌ven him a firm deadlineꦆ.

Sainz is holding out to see whether Red Bull will ditch 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez or Mercedes opt against Andrea Kimi Antonelli.

If Sainz says no, Audi have identified Alpine duo 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Esteban Ocon and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pierre Gasly as possible alternatives.

The two Frenchmen are out of contract at the end of the season and given Alpine’s abysmal form, “both are fond of a 🔥change”.

Ocon and Gasly have proven to be consistent performers in F1’s midfield - and a𓂃rguably deserve a shot as a sec🌟ond driver in a top team.

In Ocon’s case, he was linked with Mercedes as a possible stop-gap before♒ Antoneꦓlli is promoted.

Gasly left the Red Bull stable to join Alpine in 2023, with a return alongside 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen deemed as impossible.

While Gasly has struggled this year relative to Ocon, he was impressive during his debut year with Alpine꧂.

Givenജ both drivers are still under 30, they would be a smart choice by Audi for the longer term.

There seems to be little hope of Bottas staying on desꦺpite his strong start to the 2024 F1 season.

Without pit stop and rel💖iability issues, Bottas would have likely scored points 🍨on a couple of occasions.

Bottas has also outꦉ-qualified teammate Zhou Guany🌠u at the last nine consecutive races.
