Axed Kevin Magnussen retains shock hope of claiming new F1 seat
Kevin Magnussen insists he has one last chance

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.
But Sauber are mulling over giving Gabriel Bortoleto, the F3 champion and current F2 cᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚh𝔉ampionship leader, his rookie year in F1.
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.
