The door to one of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz’s key options for next season has re💙portedly “slammed♔ shut”.

The possibility of a move to Red Bull is off the table,  re💎ports, because they intend to stick with Sergio Perez𒉰 and reward him with a new contract.

Ferrari driver Sainz is therefore playing a “dangerous poker game” with two remai💜ning options.

Sauber - who will evolve into Audi in 𝐆2026 - have publicly named him as their No1 driver target for next season.

Mercedes༺ also have a vacancy to fill, because Lewis Hamilton will replace Sainz at Ferrari.

‘Mercedes offer Carlos Sainz a contract’

Toto Wolff’s team have made ♉an offer to Sainz for 2025, the sam🅘e report states.

But, the catch😼 is that🔜 the contract is only for one year.

Mercedes want to remain flexible 🥃in case they can attract Max Verstappen in 2026, or they want to promote 🧔Andrea Kimi Antonelli.

So, should Sainz accep🦋t, he knows that 🐈he will be in the same situation again next year.

Alternatively, Sainz could accept t♑he advances fro༺m Sauber.

They are offering a multi-year deal which would take Sainz into the Audi era, and the new F1 regulations, with Nico Hulkenberꦏg as a new-look duo.

But Audi are demanding an answer from Sainz by the F1 Monaco Grand Prix, gi♔ving him a two-week dea💎dline.

Audi have Alpine duo E🍨steban Ocon and Pierre Gasly as back-up options🌟 if they can’t convince Sainz.

The possibility of Aston Martin has ꦜalready evaporated for Sainz, when Fernando Alonso penned a new contract.
