The Ferrari driver’s long-term future remains up in the air with his current deal set to expire at the end of the 2024 season, along with his teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc. 

But while Leclerc has reportedly signed a ne♓w long-term deal to drive for Ferrari until the end of the 2029 season, contract negotiations with Sainz appear to be hitting a stumbling block. 

According to Italy’s꧟ , Sainz wants a𝔉 minimum two-year extension, but Ferrari’s preference is to offer the Spaniard a one-year deal. 

If fresh terms cannot be agreed, the Italian publication claims Sainz could replace 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez as168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Max Verstappen’s teammate in 2025. 

Perez, who faced intense💮 scrutiny over his Red Bull future for much of the second half of t♉he 2023 season due to his underwhelming performances, only has a valid contract for next season. 

And Gazzatta say that Sainz - a product of Red Bull’s junior scheme who was overlooked for promotion during his time at Toro Rosso - could be high up on Red Bull’s list of potential candid﷽ates for 2025. 

The 29-year-old Spaniard has also found himself linked to Audi’s F1 project but has rep꧅eatedly꧙ stressed his desire to remain a Ferrari driver. 

If the reports turn out to be true, Sainz could find himself going head-to-head with AlphaTauri’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo and McLaren’s168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lando Norris to become Verstappen’s next teammate.
