The door to one of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz’s key options for next season has reportedly “slammed shut”𝓀♐.

Tඣhe possibility of a move to Red Bull is off the table,  reports, because they intend to stick with Sergio Perez and reward him wit⛄h a new contract.

Ferrari driver Sainz is ꦆtherefore playing a “dangerous poker game🍸” with two remaining options.

Sauber - who will evolve into Audi in 2026 - have🐬 publ🐭icly named him as their No1 driver target for next season.

Mercedes also have a vacancy to fill, because Lewis Hamilton will replace🅘 Sainz at Ferrari꧅.

‘Mercedes offer Carlos Sainz a contract’

Toto Wolff’s team have made an offer to Sainz for🥀 2025, the same report states.

But, the catch is that t🧸he contract is only for one year.

Mercedes want to remain flexible in case they can attract Max Ver🌠stappen in 2026, or they want t꧅o promote Andrea Kimi Antonelli.

So, 💧should Sainz accept, he knows that he will be in the🌳 same situation again next year.

Alternatively, 💮Sainz cou⛎ld accept the advances from Sauber.

They are offering a multi-year deal which would take Sainz into the Audi era, and the new F1 re🦋gulations, with Nico Hulkenberg as a new-look duo.

But Audi are demanding an an▨swer from Sainz by🐲 the F1 Monaco Grand Prix, giving him a two-week deadline.

Audi have Alpine duo Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly as back-up options if they can’t c🌱onvince Sainz.

The possibility oไf Aston Martin has already evaporated for Sainz, when Fernando Alonso penned a new contract.
