168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz has been labelled as a “fine contender” to replace 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez at Red Bull from the 2025 F1 season.

That is according to , who has teased the possibility of a return to Red🍰 Bull for Sainz if he does not get t﷽he contract renewal he desires at Ferrari.

Sainz was a product of Red Bull’s junior programme and made his F1 debut alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen at Toro Rosso in 2015.

After seeing Verst🌊appen get the nod for promotion to the senior team, Sainz cut his ties to Red Bull altogether and had stints at Renault and McLaren before joi♎ning Ferrari.

The 29-year-old Spaniard is set to be a key player in the 2025 driver market but is determined to renew with Ferrari, who have just tied teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc down to a new bumper contract.

Sainz is “believed to be keen on securing a new two-year deal”, according to Barretto, who adds that Ferrari areꦓ “assessing their options for that seat and are understood tཧo have multiple avenues they could explore to find a partner for Leclerc”.

Sainz has been heavily linked with Audi’s F1 project and would seemingly have plenty of 🍸options should Ferrari decide not to renew his contract.

Intriguingly, Barretto suggested that Sainz would be a “fine contender” for Red Bull i🌟f Perez, whose contract is up at the end of 2024, fails to deliver and loses his seat.

“Red Bull is the best available opt♊ion for 2025, with Sergio Perez’s contract up at the e♑nd of the year,” Barretto wrote. 

“Boss Christian Horner has said it’s the Mexican’s seat to lose. Deliver, and he has a strong chance of 🌳staying.

“Struggle again an൩d Sainz, who was formerly part of the Red Bull family and spent close to three years with Toro Rosso, would be a fine co💜ntender.”

Barretto continued: “His former McLaren boss Andreas Seidl remains an admirer and would love to have ♏Sainz onboard at Hinwil🅺, where the Sauber-run team will become Audi in 2026.

“However, this would be a much bigge𓄧r risk for Sainz, at a time of his career where he is heading nicely towards his peak. As Williams’ star ℱcontinues to rise, the British team could be a potential destination for him too.”
