Mick Schumacher at Audi for F1 2026? ‘Too early to talk about drivers’
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Audi confirmed last week that Sauber - curr𝓀ently running under the Alfa Romeo name - would become their works team in 2026.
The news came as no surprise after 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Audi announced their plans to be♏come an F1 engine supplier earlier this ye⛦ar.
With Audi likely wanting a German driver in 2026, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mick Schumacher would potentially be an option.
Schumacher is currently driving for Haas, but his immediate future is under threat, with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nico Hulkenberg rumoured to be the favourite to partner 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Kevin Magnussen for F1 2023.
Speaking at last weekend’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:F1 Mexico City Grand Prix, Vasseur admitted it🐎 was t🥃oo soon to be discussing Audi’s potential driver line-up.
“As yo🅷u said, it’s a bit ambitious to speak about drivers for 2026,” he explained.
“We have the 🥃academy, we are trying to develop young ones and so but it will be in the middle because if you are speaking about young kids often in go-kart today, it wi🍷ll be more for 2030 or 2032.
“For sure, we have Valtteri [Bottas] on board, we have Zhou [Guanyu]༒ on board , we have Theo [Pourchaire] in the pipeline. But we will have time to discuss about this and I’m not sure that you have 𝔉so many drivers on the grid with contract after 2026.”
In terms of team na📖me, the Sauber outfit will no longer be known as Alfa Romeo after 2023 with their title sponsorship coming to an end.
With two more years without Audi in 2024 and 2025, Vasseur admitted 🤪they might have a new title sponsor in the intervening years.
“You have to disassociate the n🍎ame of the team, which could be𒁃 the title sponsor, and the name of the company,” he added.
“The name of the company will stay Sa♎uber. The name of the chassis will stay Sauber, but we could have a title sponsor coming in.”
