Audi are still yet to decide which driver will partner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg at Sauber for the 2025 F1 season.

ꦺWith Mattia Binotto now in charge of the ༒team, he has a tough decision to make for next year.

Sauber could retain 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas - but Audi appear to be unconvinced about the Finn’s ability tﷺo tur♛n the team around.

According to German outlet , the previous leadership, led by Andreas Seidl,♕ considered a younger driver, having loose talks with Felipe Drugovich.

One name that is continuing to do the rounds in 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Mick Schumacher.

Schumacher is currently part of the Alpine family, driving for them🍌 in the World Endurance Championship.

He is seen as a ‘low risk’ option and signi💙ng him would give them two German drivers.

Outside of Schumacher, Kevin Maꦜgnussen remains an option, but given his form against Hulkenberg, would be a downgrade on Bottas.

Another 🐟factor for B💎inotto and Audi to consider is the situation at Red Bull.

Sauber reportedly had talks with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Liam Lawson earlier in the year.

However, ﷺLawson is expected to drive for VC✱ARB at some stage in the next year.

Depending on how the situation at Red Bull plays out, either 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo or 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez could be available.

Perez’s future at Red Bull is unclear despite being backed by the🐭 team following a difficult Belgian Grand Prix.

Similarly with Ricciardo, who has yet to convince Red Bull he’s ready to return to th💯e main team.

AMuS suggest that Audi’s best option could be to wait to see if Perez, who was dubbed ‘king of the midfield’ or Ricciardo are av💙ailable.

A wildcard option is two-time IndyCar champion𒉰 Alex Pa𒆙lou.

The 27-year-old Spaniard ha𝐆s woꦚn the last two IndyCar titles - and is on course to win a third.
