Sauber point finger at F1 driver who they want to replace Valtteri Bottas
“Everybܫody knows 💖that there is a top driver available on the market"

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz is top of Sauber’s shopping list for the 2025 F1 season.
The in-form Ferrari driver is out of a drive next year, when Lewis Hamilton will replace him, b🌱ut his availabi♑lity has piqued the interest of multiple teams on the grid.
Chief among the inter𒅌ested parties is Sauber, who will evolve into Audi in 2026.
The German powerhouse manufacturer has a ♛relationship with Sainz’s father, who drove their car to victo🌞ry at the Dakar Rally.
Sauber have already signed Haas’ Nico Hulkenberg for next season and beyond, and admit they want Sainz t🅺o partner him.
That would mean current duo 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Guanyu Zhou would both be out of a seat.
“Everybody knows that there i🌄s a top driver available on the market, Sauber’s team representative Alessandro Alunni Bravi said. “It’s Carlღos Sainz…
“Everybody would like to have Carloಌs on board. He is one of the best.
“He shows to be extremely mature, a good driver to develop the car, to drive the team for the development. At the same time, very consistent, very strong. Both in qualifyin🤪g and race.”
Mercedes and Red Bull could also vie for Sainz🔯 although the door to Aston Martin has shut after Fernando Alonso’s new contract.
Alunni Bravi added𝕴: “Ferrari has one of the best pairs of drivers.
“We know that the driver market is not🐼 dependent on ourselves.
“It is dependent on different factors. There are many teams that are discussing with꧟ drivers. There are several options for our team.
“We will evaluate. But, now that we have announced Nico, there is no rush to make thওis choice. We are still at the beginning.
“We are speaking with 🍒[Sainz] and other drivers. The decisꦛion is not an easy one.
“We are taking a decision [will not just impact] 2🐭025. But also the future of the Audi works team.
“The drive💟r line-up is important. It is not just the decision of a single driver.
“All th🦋e options🌃 are on the table, starting from our current two drivers.”
