Audi are still yet to decide which driver will partner 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nico Hulkenberg at Sauber for the 2025 F1 season.

With Mattia Binotto now in charge of the team, he has a tough decision to m💎ake for next year.

Sauber could retain 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Valtteri Bottas - but Au⛎di appear to be unconvinced about the Finn’s ability to turn the team around.

According to German outlet , the previous leadership, led by Andreas Seidl, considered a younger dr🍃iver, having loose talks with Felipe Drugovich.

One name that is continuing to do the rounds in 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mick Schumacher.

Schumacher is currently part of the Alpine fa⭕mily, driving for them in the World Endurance Championship.

He is seen as a ‘low risk’ option an🍰d signing him wo🐠uld give them two German drivers.

Outside of Schumacher, Kevin Magnussen remains an option,💫 but given his form against Hulkenberg, would be a downgrade on Bottas.

Another factor for Binotto andಌ Audi to consider is the situation at R🥂ed Bull.

Sauber reportedly had talks with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Liam Lawson earlier in the year.

However, Lawson is expected tꦿo drive for VCARB at some stage in the🐠 next year.

Depending on how the situation at Red Bull plays out, either 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Daniel Ricciardo or 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez could be available.

Perez’s future at Red Bull is uncღlear despite being backed by the team followin♌g a difficult Belgian Grand Prix.

Similarl🥃y with Ricciardo, who has yet to convince Red Bull he’s ready to return to the main team.

AMuS sugge♏st that Audi’s best option could be to wai♚t to see if Perez, who was dubbed ‘king of the midfield’ or Ricciardo are available.

🥀A wildcard option is two-ꦗtime IndyCar champion Alex Palou.

The 27-year-🍸old Spaniard has won the last two IndyCar titl🦩es - and is on course to win a third.
