Nico Rosberg has offered advice to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz about how he can secure a drive with Mercedes for the 2025 F1 season.

Sainz is looking for a 2025 seat after Ferrari decided to let the Spaniard go in order to sign 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton from Mercedes next season.

Mercedes are sea𓄧rching for a replacement for the seven-time world champion and Sainz has been heavily linked with a switch to the German manuf꧙acturer.

However, Mercedes’ highly-rated teenage protege and Formula 2 rookie Andrea Kimi Antonelli is believed to be their favoured choice to partner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell.

When asked ♋what Sa🐻inz must do to earn the Mercedes drive, 2016 world champion Rosberg told Sky Sports F1: “It’s very easy. He needs to offer just a one-year contract.

“With an option, then, on Toto’s side. Of course, it’s not a nice position to be in for Carlos because he ꦏdeserves better.

“But from Toto’s perspective, it is likely he will want to keep the flexibility for the year after that for possibly bringing in someone like Antonelli, or even a Max Verstappen. There🔥 are a lot of rumours.

“If Carlos wants to drive for✤ Mercedes, he has to offer to ಞdo it for one year with an unknown after that.

“It’s not easy. It’s not nice. Buꦗt that’s what he has to do.”

Red Bull have confirmed they are talking to Sainz about a possible move to the reigning world champions in 2025, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez’s contract expiring at the end of the year.

Audi/Sauber an🌊d Will𝐆iams are understood to be alternative options for Sainz.

Providing an update on his future𓄧 ahead of the Chinese Grand Prix, Sainz said: "I think for sure all my best options are still open, which I think is a positive thing and something that obviously requires a bit of time, given the situation of the market.

"I think it's going to take some time for everyone to make their own mind and their own decisions, but th🌊e good options are still open."
