Sauber point finger at F1 driver who they want to replace Valtteri Bottas
“Everybody kno🌺ws that there is a top💖 driver available on the market"

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz is top of Sauber’s shopping list for the 2025 F1 season.
The in-form Ferrari driver is out of a drive next year, when Lewis Hamilton will replace him, but his availabi🅷lity has piqued the interest of mul♔tiple teams on the grid.
Ch🐬ief among the interested parties is Sau🎉ber, who will evolve into Audi in 2026.
The German powerhouse manufacturer has a relationship with Sainz’s father, who drove their car to꧙ victory at the Dakar Rally.
Sauber have already signed Haas’ Nico Hulkenberg for next season and beyond, and admit they want Sa♒inz to partner him.
That would mean current duo 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Guanyu Zhou would both be out of a seat.
“Everybody knows that there is a top driver availꦺable on the market, S♓auber’s team representative Alessandro Alunni Bravi said. “It’s Carlos Sainz…
“Everybody would like to have Carlos on board. He is one of the b꧅est.
“He♚ shows to be extremely mature, a good driver to develop the car, to drive the team for the development. At the same time, very consistent, very strong. Both in qualifying and race.”
Mercedes and Red Bull could also vie for Sainz although the door to Aston Martin has shu𓆏t after Fernando Alonso’s new contract.
Alunni Bravi added: “Ferrari has one of the ♔best pairs of drivers.
“We knꦆow that the driver market is no💎t dependent on ourselves.
“It is dependent on different factors. There are 🍰many teams that are discussing with drivers. There are several options for our team.
“We will e☂valuate. But, now that we have announced Nico, there is no rush to make this choice. We are still at the beginning.
“We are speaking with [Sainz]꧃ and other drivers. The de൩cision is not an easy one.
🥀“We are taking a decision [will not just impact] 2025. But also the🥀 future of the Audi works team.
“The driver line-up is important. It is not just the decisioꦯn of a single driver.
“All the options a🐼re on the table, starting from our current tw💜o drivers.”
