Helmut Marko has vowed that Red Bul🍎l won’t be pressurised by Audi’s offer to Carlos Sainz.

Ferrari driver Sainz will los🎶e his seat to ꧂Lewis Hamilton in 2025 and is at the centre of the F1 driver market.

⭕Currently a free agent, his opt♑ions include Red Bull, Mercedes or Sauber who will become Audi a year later.

Red Bull could offerꦐ Sainz a ♏drive alongside Max Verstappen if they opt to get rid of Sergio Perez.

“Sainz is cu﷽rrently in g🐠reat shape,” Marko told .

“I🌃 think he has a very great three-year offer from Audi.

“But he has to make a decision relatively soon. “We, on the other hand, won't make a d🌠ecision so💎on.

“We won't let things like that put us unﷺder pressure.”

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

Sainz came through the Red Bull junior programme and teamed with Verstappen briefly at Toro Rossoꦆ.

“Well, he was still very young back theౠn,” Maꦑrko reacted.

“But now he has developed great and is showing🧸 incredible f🌠orm.”

Sಞainz is the winner of the only two F1 grands prix since 2022 which Red Bull have failed tꦆo win.

Victory in Australia this season came in the after𝔉math of appendix surgery.

Red Bull coul🍰d opt to bring him back into the fold at the expense of Perez, whose own foꦫrm has impressed this year.

Perez has claimed three P2 finish🀅es and a P3 last week at the Chinese Grand Prix to state his case for a new contract.

But Audi’s ♏interest ꧙in Sainz is holding up the driver market.

They will run as Sauber until 2026 when the new r🦄egul🅘ations come into effect.

From there, Audi intend to make an immediate spꦇlash and are putting together their driver plans now.

Sainz has a relationship with the manufacturer becau✃sꦍe his father won the Dakar Rally for them.

But 𓆉a 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 currently fighting at♐ the front with.
