Audi plan to enter F1 in 2026 following 🉐their full takeover of Alfa Romeo/Sauber.

The German manufacturer will build and design its own power unit when F1 embarks on its new engine rules in three years.

With 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas’ form stuttering, and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Zhou Guanyu unlikely to be a long term option for a factory team like Audi🌺, it’s likely theyไ will be looking for options elsewhere.

According to BLICK, Sainz - who is out of contract at Ferrari at the end ♓of 2024 - is a leading candidate🔯.

Andreas Seidl - who worked with Sainz at McLaren - joined Sauber as their CEO at the start of t🧜he year 𝔍which is another potential reason why Sainz to Audi makes sense.

Speaking to Spanish publication MARCA, Sainz denied the rumours with a scath🐻in🐽g response.

“It surprises me a lot, hearing things about 20👍26 whe🧜n I don’t even have a contract for 2025,” he said.

“It surprises me that people invent things so much. In💃 some ways, it makes me laugh. In other ways, it annoys me that therജe are these uncorroborated rumours. 

“Nobody will ever go to that journaliꦗst and verify it.

“Because ඣthe aim is to stay at Ferrari for many years, I am very comfortable here, I’m living a dream, and this is my objective.”

Ferrari teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc is also out of contract at the end of 2024.

Leclerc has been mooted as a potential replacement for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton, should the seven-time world champion cal🦄l time on his car❀eer in F1.

However, Le♎clerc has often expressed, ﷽like Sainz, that driving for Ferrari has been a “dream of his”.
