168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Kevin Magnussen surprisingly hinted tha𓆏t he still has a chance of r♑emaining in Formula 1 next year.

Haas have long since announced that Magnussen would be dropped, with Esteban Ocon and Ollie Bearman forming their new-lo🌠ok 2025 driver duo.

F1 veteran Magnussen has scarcely been linked with al🍷ternative options but revealed in Brazil that he has one last-ditch opportunity to stay.

Magnussen was quoted by  about Sauber: "When Andreas Seidl was t⛦here, I heard from them, but I haven't hear♑d from them since.”

Ex-Ferrari team principal M🏅attia Binotto has since replaced Seidl as the top boss at the team who will becom൩e Audi in 2026.

"He🌜 k🌠nows I'm here, I would hope so,” Magnussen said.

“And anyway, there is a lot going on𓂃 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 w🔴ill see where things go.

"There is no rea💫son 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 ha♏ve signed Magnussen’🎀s current Haas teammate Nico Hulkenberg for 2025 but have not decided their other driver.

🐻Current incumbent Valtteri Bottas remains in the hunt after wꦏeeks of negotiations over a new deal. Bottas’ current teammate Guanyu Zhou looks to be out of the running, and 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 i✨n F1.

Bortoleto comes with 🌳a recommendation from Max Verstappen, who insisted Sauber should have already signed him up.

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