Audi plan to enter F1 in 2026 following💯 their full takeover of Alfa Romeo/Sauber.

The German manufacturer will build and design its own power unit when F1 embarks on its new engine rules in three years.

With 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Valtteri Bottas’ form stuttering, and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Zhou Guanyu unlikely to be a long term option for a factory team like Audi, it’s likely they will be looking for options 💟elsewhere.

According to BLICK, Sainz - who is out of 𝄹contract at Ferra𓄧ri at the end of 2024 - is a leading candidate.

Andreas Seidl - who worked with Sainz at McLaren - joined Sauber as their CEO at the st🤪art of the year which is another potential reason why Sainz to Audi makes♉ sense.

Speaking to Spanish publication MARCA, Sainz 🎀denied the rumours with a scathing respꦅonse.

“It surp꧑rises me a lot, hearing things about 2026 when I don’t even have a contract for 2025,” he said.

“It surprises me that people invent things so much. In some ways, it makes me laugh. In other ways, it 🎉annoys me that there are these uncorroborated rumours. 

“Nobody will ever ♊go to that journalist and verify it.

“Because ♑the aim is to stay at Ferrari for many years, I am very comfortable here, I’m living a dream, and this is my objec⭕tive.”

Ferrari teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc is also out of contract at the end of 2024.

Leclerc has been mooted as a potential replacement for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton, sh𝔍ould the seven-time world champion call time on his career in F1.

However🌳, Leclerc has often expressed, like Sainz, that driving for Ferrari has been a “dream of🦩 his”.
