New Audi F1 chief Mattia Binotto says 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Mick Schumacher is an option for the sole-remaining seat a🐠t🀅 Sauber next season.

The final seat up for grabs for 2025 comes at the Audi-owned Sauber squad, who are currently in the process of deciding who they should sign to partner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg, who will make the switch from Haas at the end of the year💜. 

Current incumbent 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas is a leading option, while Williams super sub Franco Colapinto and F2 championship leader🙈 Gabriel Bortoleto are also believed to be in the frame.

Binotto has now confirmed that Schumacher, who ♛has been Mercedes’ reserve driver for the past two seasons after losingꦇ his Haas seat at the end of 2022, is a late contender for the drive.

"We can afford the luxury of no♏t rushing, since all the other teams𝐆 have decided their line-ups,” Binotto told Italian newspaper .

“There are two essential options: on the one hand, experience to set us on the gr🌼owth path. On the other is a young, talented driver who ca🤡n accompany us on the path to the top.”

Asked if Schumacher, the son of seven-time world champion Michael, is on the team’s ꧒radar, Binotto replied: “We are definitely evalua𓄧ting him.

“I met him and spoke to him. I have known him for a long time having been part of the Ferrar▨i Driver Academy. I know his strengths anꦫd advantages. He is one of the names we have in mind.”

Binotto has known Schumacher since his days as Ferrari team pri🔯ncipal when the🏅 25-year-old German was part of the Scuderia’s young driver programme.

Schumacher recently indicated to Sky Germany that he hopes to claim the last spot on th🐲e F1 grid for 2025.

"I'll deal with it if the time comes and Plan A doesn't work,” he said. “Plan B must be in the back of your mind. I d💝on't know where it's going at the mome🍒nt.”
