Audi are still weighing up their options for next year, leaving 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas uncertain about his F1 future.
Ahe✤ad of this weekend’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Bottas hinted that he’s likely to stay with Sauber next year, although he named IndyCar as a possible alternative if his F1 career was to come to an end.
McL𒐪aren junior Gabriel Bortoleto is thought to be the alternative to Bottas, sh♎ould Audi want a hot young talent in the car.
The decision will be Mattia Binotto, who was ♋appointed boss of th༒e Audi F1 project in July.
When asked about the driver situation in the FIA press conference on Friday, Bravi said: “I think this is the current assessment Mattia is doing. It just star🎀ted two weeks ago. We have said already in Monza that he’s taking charge of those decisions and the 🍒drivers are one of the most important ones.
“We’re evaluating all of thꦓe options to see which is the best balance between short-term experience and medium, long-term, maybe young talent. There are 🥂potential candidates on both sides. Valtteri is a strong driver for our team. We know him very well.
“He has been with the team already for three years🐼. Of course, he’s one of the top of our list, but there are other opportunities. We’re just looking at all of the pros and cons. Mattia will take a decision based on not 🌳only 2025 but also the medium-long term strategy for the Audi F1 project.”
The second Sauber seat alongside Nico Hulkenb♚erg is the o♒nly vacant one on the grid for next year.
Alpine recently signed Jack Doohan after missing out on 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz toꦬ Williams, while Andrea Kimi Antonelli was confirmed at Mercedes at the Italian Grand Prix.
In terms🥃 of a deadline, Bravi suggested an announcement will ꦆbe made in the next few weeks.
“It’s not about a deadline,” he added. “We are not ♏opportunistic. Now that there’s only one seat available🌞, we want to take time. It’s more to assess everything, every aspect and to take a right decision. There is no rush but we want to tick this box soon. It will be a matter of the next weeks.”
