168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz has seen one major option for his F1 future disappear as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso signed a new Aston Martin deal.

Alonso has penned fresh terms to remain with his current team into the 2026 season, when new F1 engine regulations will kick i🥀n.

Alonso’s commitment -ඣ when he was an optioꦜn for Mercedes and Red Bull in 2025 - is a crucial part of the driver market solved.

There are big ramifications for Ferrari’s Sainz.

Williams and Sauber are now his two li🍨keliest landing spots for next year, ’s Lawrence Barretto reports.

Red Bull are a less likely option because they would need to get rid of Sergio Perez, and bring in Sainz to partne🦄r Max Verstappen as he once did for Toro Rosso.

The lack of significant interest from Mercedes, who must replace the Fe𓂃rrari-bound Lewis Hamilton, in Sainz ⛄is notable.

Williams have Alex Albon signed up l𝓡ong-term but could let Logan Sargeant go, if they can attract ♑Sainz.

Despite their struggles with crashes and the lack of a spare chassis this year, Williams are a tea✱m on the up under James Vowles’ leadership.

Sauber, meanwhile, will evolve into Audi in 2026.

Sainz has a clear link to Audi becaus🤪e his father won the Dakar Rally re🏅presenting the German manufacturer.

The Spanish driver is in-demand amid some red-hot♏ form.

His win at last year's Singapore Grand 📖Prix and this year's Australian Grand Prix are the only two race wins from a non-Red Bull driver since 2022.

He returned to win in Australia after appendix surgery to mak🀅e the feat more rema🌱rkable.

But, it no🌞w seems that he must take a step backwards according to the current grid.

Williams are eighth and Sauber ninth in the current con꧅structors' standings after four rounds of ﷽2024, while Ferrari trail only Red Bull.
