Helmut Marko has admitted 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz must be considered for a Red Bull seat nꦆext year.

But his admission goes against a prediction made by Rꦇalf Schumacher, who tꦛhinks Red Bull won’t want to bring Sainz back into the fold.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez is into the 🐷final year of his contract as Max Verstappen’s teammate and, with some top-notch names available on the driver market, Red🧸 Bull could make a big change.

“I don't really believe that the decision at Red Bull won't be made until the summer,” Schumacher told Sky German🐎y before the F1 Japanese Grand Prix.

“Now is🐬 the hot phase, now Sainz is on t𝓡he market. It has to be done now.

“Perez is a candidat🌃e who has to vacate the cockpit.

“Fernando Alonso is also still on the market.

"That'♋s why this has to be decided now at Red Bull.

"I think Sainz, as far as Dr. Helmut Marko is concerned, won't be the No1 priority because he a𝕴lready let🌠 him go [from Toro Rosso].

“He ♌already had him against Max back then, and exchang⛦ed him because he said that Max was clearly the better one.

“So it will be difficult for Ca🍨rlos if Dr. Marko makes the decision.”

But Red Bull advisor Marko said, even before the Ferrari driver finished on the podium at Su✅zuka: "Sainz is currently in incredible form.

🧜“Sainz came into Formula 1 through Red Bull and also had a very good year at Toꦯro Rosso.

“Sain⛦z is certainly a name that you have to take into account🃏.”

Ferrari's Sainz is the only driver aside🌃 from the Red Bulls to have won a grand prix last season or this year.

At the F1 Japanese Grand Prix, he completed th🐠e podium behind Verstappen and Perez.

Sainz is ou𝐆t of a seat next year when his Ferrari is taken by Lewis Hamilton, who will leave Merc🐼edes.

Mercedes have the most notable currentꦐ vacancy for the 2025 grid to fill.

Verstappen could still becom🍷e a Mercedes target although he is likelier to stick with the lucrative contract he 🥂is on, until 2028, with Red Bull.

The possibility of Perez retaining his seat has perhaps improved after the earlies🍒t rounds of this season.

Perez entered 2024 under immense pressure after some below-par pe♍rformances lastꩵ year.

But he finished P2 at th▨e first two grands prix, both times behind Verstappen, the perfect result for his team.

As✃ton Martin’s Alonso is als🤡o into the final year of his contract so could be a target for Red Bull or Mercedes.

Sainz, meanwhile, could take Alonso’s place at Aston Martin or go to Sauber ahead of their evolution in🏅to Audi, a brand he already has an affinity with through his father.
