💧Helmut Marko has vowed that Red Bull won’t be pressurised by Audi’s offer to Carlos Sainz.

Ferrari driver Sainz will lose his s💧eat to Lewis Hamilton in 2025 and is at the c🤪entre of the F1 driver market.

Curren🐼tly a free agent, his options include Red Bull, Mercedes or Sauber who 🐠will become Audi a year later.

Red Bull could offer ܫSainz a drive alongside Max Verstappen if they opt to get rid of Sergio Perez.

“Sainz is currently in ♈great sh🌊ape,” Marko told .

“I think he has a very gre🉐at three-year offer from Audi.

“But he has to make a decision relatively soon. “We, on the other haꦅnd, won't make a decision soon.

“We won't l🎐et things like that put us under pressure.”

The claim o🌼f a three-year offer would take Sainz into 2027, two years into the new F1 regulations. But it would also mean a first ye𝓀ar, next season, with Sauber.

Sainz came through the Red Bull juni﷽or programme and team👍ed with Verstappen briefly at Toro Rosso.

“Well, he was still very y♔oung back then,” Marko reacted.

“But now he has developed great aཧnd is showing incredible form.”

🐽Sainz is the wi🥂nner of the only two F1 grands prix since 2022 which Red Bull have failed to win.

Victory in Australia this💃 ▨season came in the aftermath of appendix surgery.

Red Bull could opt to bring him back into the fold at the exp🐻ense of Perez, whose ow𝔉n form has impressed this year.

Perez has claimed three P2 finishes and a P3 last week 💯at the Chinese Grand Prix to state his case for a new cꦫontract.

But Audi’s interest in Sainz is holding up the driverꦬﷺ market.

They will run as Sauber until 2⛦026 when the new regulations come into effect.

From there, Audi intend to make an immediate splash and are putting t💙ogether their driver plans no🍷w.

Sainz has a relationship with the manufacturer because h💙is father won the Dakar Rally for them.

But a move to Sauber, a🍬s they will remain, in 2025 is no guarantee of a fast car in comparison to the extremely competitive Ferrari that he is currently fighting at the front with.
