168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Kevin Magnussen surprisingly hinted that he 🐠still has a chance of remaining in Formula 1 next year.

Haas have long since announced that Magnussen would be drop▨ped, with Es🌠teban Ocon and Ollie Bearman forming their new-look 2025 driver duo.

F1 veteran Magnussen has scarcely been linked🍬 with alte🔯rnative options but revealed in Brazil that he has one last-ditch opportunity to stay.

Magnussen was quoted by  about Sauber: "When Andreas Seidl was th🌠ere, I heard from them, but I𓆏 haven't heard from them since.”

Ex-Ferrari team principal🎐 Mattia Binotto has since replaced Seidl as the top boss at the team who will become Audi in 2026.

"He knows I'm here♏, I would hope so,” Magnussen said.

“And any𓂃way, there i꧙s a lot going on in the background right now, so I am not ready to decide.

[for 2025], so there is no reason to commit to anything.

"There is a good mix of options for my future, but there 🎐is no reason to commit right now, and we will see where things go.

"There is no reason to say no🌞 to anything, I don't need to commit so it is good to just have all the options on the table."

Sauber have signed Magnussen’s current Haas teammate Nico Hulkenberg for 2025 but have ꦺnot decided their other d♛river.

Current incumbent 🦹Valtteri Bottas remains in the hunt after weeks of negotiations over a new deal. Bottas’ current teammate Guanyu Zhou looks to be out of the running, a🦄nd out of F1 as a result.

But Sauber are mulling 🀅over giving Gabriel Bortoleto, the F3 champion and current F2 championship leader, his rookie year in F1.

Bortoleto comes with a recommendation from Max Verstappen, who insisted Sauber should have a🅘🍌lready signed him up.

As for Magnussen? Unless he unexpectedly claims the Sauber s🐻eat, his nine-season run in F1 will be finished.
