The 29-year-old’s impressive form - and availability - has made him the hott🌜est commodity in the driver market for next season.

Sainz has also been heavil🍌y linked with Audi and has reportedly received a “very lucrative offer” from the German manufacturer which Helmut Marko clai😼med Red Bull “cannot match or beat”.

But H🎃orner downplayed Marko’s asser♌tion about Sainz in China.

“First of all we’re not aw🎀are of what the offer that has been made [is], but obviously Audi coming into the sport, one would assume that they’re going to be quite aggressive in the driver𝔉 market,” Horner told Sky Sports F1.

"But as you can tell with the level of interest that we have had from other drivers in our sꦐeats, for a driver of Carlos’ calibre, he wants to be in a winning car. And whilst we have one seat available for next year, his target, inevitab꧋ly, is that seat.”

Horner also disputed Perez’s claim that his F1 future with 🐟Red Bull will be resolveꦰd imminently.
