The F1 driver who Audi have picked out as a top target

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon rep🌼ortedly has emerged as a key driver target to put in their car.

“Sources say Sauber-run Stake have the Frenc🦹hman very high up on their list as they prepare the operation to become Audi in 2026,” reported.

Ocon is “one of a number of drivers” considered by Andreas Seidl, the ex-McLa♉ren team principal who is now spearheading Audi’s eventual arrival, but is "high up on the list".

“Seidl has held meetings with driver managers 🐎up and down the grid about the future,” it is cl🦂aimed.

The team known as Alfa Rome🌃o last season wil🐎l become Team Stake F1 this year, run by Sauber, before Audi take over in 2026.

Valtteriܫ Bottas and Zhou Guanyu will retain their driver roles this season.

Veteran Bottas “would love to spearhead Audi’s chall🧔enge” but he and teammate Zhou “need to up the🔯ir respective games” if they are to be kept on.

Ocon could be a viable targe🐬t because his 🍸Alpine contract expires at the end of this season.

He outperformed Fernando Alonso in 2022 and was eight points behind 2023 teammate Pierre Gasl𝐆y despite seven DNFs.

But there is uncertainty at Alpine because the structure of senior management who recru📖ited Ocon (and Gasly) have largely now departed.

The new top bosses are set to “play the market” d♔espite being content with Ocon and Gasly.

U🍷nless they can tie Ocon down, he looks set to become a ke♊y option for the team who will eventually morph into Audi.
