Audi plan to enter F1 in🌱 2026 followinౠg 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 t🐎hey 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 cand𝄹idate.

Andreas Seidl - who worked with Sainz at McLaren - joined Sauber as the💫ir CEO at the start of the year which is another potential reason why Sainz to Audi makes sense.

Speaking to Spanish publication MARCA🔥, Sainz denied th✅e rumours with a scathing response.

“It surprises me a lot, hearing things about 2026 when I don’t even have a contract f༺or 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 there are these un𒁏corroborated rumours. 

“Nobody will everဣ go to that journa🌞list and verify it.

“Because the a♓im 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 call time on his career in𝓀 Fꦗ1.

However, Leclerc has often expr🅰essed, like Sainz, that driving for Ferrari has been a “dream of his”𒊎.
