Carlos Sainz insists “no truth” to reports he has turned down Audi F1 offer
Carlos Sainz has refuted s🌊uggestions he has turned down an F1 contract o𒊎ffer from Audi.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz says there is “no truth” to claims he has turned down a lucrative offer from the Audi F1 team.
The Spaniard is searching for a drive for next season after Ferrari opted to sign seven-time world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton to partner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc from 2025.
Sainz has been heavily linked with Audi amid rumours he 🎉has been offered a substantial deal from the current Sauber-run outfit.
Reports in Spanish media ahead of this weekend’s Miami🦩 Grand Prix suggested that Sainဣz had rejected Audi’s offer to hold out for a seat with either Red Bull or Mercedes.
But Sainz has refut🦄ed such reports, insisting to media in Miami: “No, that's not correct. There is no truth about it.
“As I've said ไbefore, there are certain things that they don't 🐻depend fully on myself and there's going to be some waiting to be done. But, in the meantime, is not like I'm, or we are, completely stopped.
"We are still in conversations with people anꦉd advancing what we can advance, but all those things alwa✱ys including the waiting that, as I said before, we're going to need to do, for people to make up their minds in many areas.”
Sainz’s father, the world rally champion Carlos Sainz Sr, has strong links to A෴udi, winning for the German brand at the 2024 Dakar Rally.
That has only intensified speculation about Sainz potentially moving to Audi, but the three-time grand prix winner stressed there are “more factors” involved in the decision he will ꦯultimately make.
“For sure, my Dad, you will always say good things about Audi, the project, and how confident he is that Audi will make it to the top ꧒in F𓆉ormula 1," he said.
"If you follow the Volkswagen pro🔥jects, every time they've been involved in motorsports - doesn't matter if it's with Porsche, with Audi or any of the Volkswagen Group - they've managed to win, and I think that's a very important asset and something♔ very important to consider.
"But i🌱n my decision, and obviously in everything, there are a lot more factors involved.
"I꧟ really hope Audi in𒅌 the future can fight for wins because it would just mean one more car fighting for wins, and a massive brand like they are, and I wish them the best without even having decided if that's a possibility for me or not.”
Last week, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg was confirmed as Audi’s f🦋irst driver, with the German signing a multi-year contract to race for Sauber in 2025, ahead of Audi’s takeover in 2026.
Sainz says he h꧑as received no assurances from Audi that they will wait for him to make a decision.
“The only assurance that I have is from myself that I want to make the r♔ight decision," he explain🐓ed.
"That's why it's also taken a bit longer, and that's why I want to see all the options availa🍒ble before taking any ♉fundamental decision.
"I think Nico 🍨joining Audi makes complete sense for them and for Nico, and I think 📖he's a great driver.
"I've managed to see his talents - he's a gr🍸eat signing for them. I congr☂atulate them and him because he's been doing great at Haas lately too."
