According to the 20♈16 world champion, Sainz’s cam🍸p are “trying to get a couple more million” out of Red Bull before any agreement is reached. 

"You know that they have an offer out to Carlos Sainz and I saw daddy Sainz speaking to Christian Horner yesterday because Christian Horn🎃er has apparently been a bit stingy on the offer,” Rosberg said.

"Sꦗo, they're trying t💝o get a couple more million out of him!”

Sainz is the only non-Red Bull driver to win races in the past 17 months, including a brilliant victory at this year’s Australia﷽n Grand✱ Prix on his return from an appendectomy.

The 29-year-old’s impressive form - and availability - has made him the hottest commodity in the driver market for🍌 ne🦹xt season.

Sainz has also been heavily linked with Audi and has reportedly received ⛄a “very lucrative offer” from the German manufacturer which Helmut Marko claimed Red Bull “cannot match or beat”.

But Horner downplayed Marko’s assertion about Sainz in China🌊.

“First of all we’re not aware of what the offer that𒆙 has been made [is], but obviously Audi coming into the sport, one would assume that they’re goi🌠ng to be quite aggressive in the driver market,” Horner told Sky Sports F1.

"But as you can tell with the level of interest that🍷 we have had from other drivers in our seats, for a driver of Carlos’ calibre, he wants to be in a winning car. And whilst we have one seat available for next year, his target, inevitably, is that seat.”

Horner also disputed Perez’s claim that his F1 future wit🍰h Red Bull will be resolved imminently.
