Helmut Marko has admitted 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz must be considered for a Red Bull s﷽eat next year.

But his admission goes against a prediction made by Ralf Schumacheཧr, who thinks Red Bull won’t want to bring Sainz b👍ack into the fold.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez is into the final year of his contract asꦍ Max Verstappen’s teammate and, with some top-notch names available on the driver market, Red Bull cou🅰ld make a big change.

“I don't really believe that the decision at Red Bull won't be made until the summer,” Schumacher told Sky Germany before the F1 Japanese Gr𝐆and Prix.

“Now is the hot phase, now Sainz is on the market. It has to be done n💧ow.

“Perez is a candidate🥀 who has to vacate the 💞cockpit.

“Fernando Alonso is also still on the market.

"That's why this has to be deciꩵded now at Red Bull.

"I think Sainz, as far as Dr. Helmut Marko is concerned, won't be th🗹e No1 priꦍority because he already let him go [from Toro Rosso].

“He already had him against Max back then, and exchanged him because h🎶e said th⛎at Max was clearly the better one.

“So it will be difficult for Carlos if Dr. Marko 💃makes the decision.🌼”

But Red Bull ad൩visor Marko said, even before the Ferrari driver finished on the podium at Suzuka: "Sainz 𓄧is currently in incredible form.

“Sainz came into Formula 1 through Red Bull and also had a ve🅠r🐬y good year at Toro Rosso.

“Sainz is cer🦩tainly a name 💦that you have to take into account.”

Ferrari's Sa🥃inz i🌠s the only driver aside from the Red Bulls to have won a grand prix last season or this year.

At the F1 Japanese Gra𒊎nd Prix, he completed the podium b🐟ehind Verstappen and Perez.

Sainz is out o🏅f a seat next year when his Ferrari is💙 taken by Lewis Hamilton, who will leave Mercedes.

Mercedes have the most notable current ꦜvacancy for the 2025 grid to fill.

Verstappen could still become a Mer𓃲cedes target although he is likelier𝓀 to stick with the lucrative contract he is on, until 2028, with Red Bull.

The possibility of Perez retaining his seat has ꩲperhaps improved after the earli💧est rounds of this season.

Perez entered 2024 under immense pressur🍰e after some below-par performances ℱlast year.

But he finished P2 at the fi🌳rst two grands prix, both times behind Verstappen, the perfect result for his𝕴 team.

Aston Marti🦩n’s Alonso is als꧅o into the final year of his contract so could be a target for Red Bull or Mercedes.

Sainz, meanwhile, could take Alonso’s place at Aston Martin or go to Sauber ahead of their evolution into Audi, a brand he already has an affinity withꦫ through his father.
