168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Kevin Magnussen surprisingly hinted that he still has a chance of 🌠remaining in Formula 1 next y⛦ear.

Haas have long since announced that Magnussen would be dropped, with Estebanꦦ Ocon and 🙈Ollie Bearman forming their new-look 2025 driver duo.

F1 veteran Magnussen has scarcely been linked with alternative options but revealed in Brazil that he has one lastꦛ-ditch opportunity to stay.

Magnussen was quoted ♌by  about Sauber: "When Andreas Seidl was there, I heard from them, but I haven't heard from them since.”

Ex-Ferrari team principal Mattia Binot𒀰to has since replaced Seidl as the top bo𓂃ss at the team who will become Audi in 2026.

"H♐e knows I'm here, I would hope so,” Magnussen said.

“And anyway, there i🎃s a lot going on in the background right now, so I am not ready to decide.

[for 2025], so there is no reason to commit to anything.

"There is a good mix of ꧃options for m꧟y future, but there is no reason to commit right now, and we will see where things go.

"There is 🔯no reason to say no to anything, I don't need to commit so it is good to just have all the options on the table."

Sauber hav🌼e signed Magnussen’s current Haas teammate Nico Hulkenberg for 2025 but have not decided their other driver.

Current incumbent Valtℱteri Bottas remains in the hunt after weeks of negotiations over a new deal. Bottas’ current teammate Guanyu Zhou looks to be out 🏅of the running, and out of F1 as a result.

Bortoleto co🍎mes with a recommendation from Max Verstappen, who insisted Sauber should have already signed him up.

As for Magnussen? Unless he unexpectedly claims the Sauber seat, his nine-season run inꦑ F1𝔍 will be finished.
