Audi plan to enter F1 in 2026 follo🐼wing their full takeover of Alfa Romeo/Sauber.

The German manufacturer will build and design its own power unit when F1 embarks on its new engine rules in three years.

With 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas’ form stuttering, and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Zhou Guanyu unlikely to be a long term option for a factory team like Audi, itᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ’s likely they🎃 will be looking for options elsewhere.

According to BLICK, Sainz - who is out of contract at Ferrari at the end of 2024ౠ - is a leading candidate.

Andreas Seidl - who worked with Sainz at McLaren - joined Sauber 🍃as their CওEO at the start of the year which is another potential reason why Sainz to Audi makes sense.

Speaking to Spanish publication MARCA, Sainz denied the rumours with a scathing resp🥂onse.

“It surprises me a lot, hearing things about 2026 when I don’t even have a contract for 2025,” ꦿhe said.

“It surprises me that people invent things so much. ꧅In some ways, it makes me laugh. In other way🍨s, it annoys me that there are these uncorroborated rumours. 

“Nobody will ever go to that journalisꦇt and verifꦬy it.

“Because the aim is to s♌tay at Ferrari for many years, I am 𒁏very comfortable here, I’m living a dream, and this is my objective.”

Ferrari teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc is also out of contract at the end of 2024.

Leclerc has been mooted as a potential replacement for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton, should the seven-time world champion c🦹all time ꧟on his career in F1.

However, Leclerc has often expressed, like Sainz,꧋ that driving 🔥for Ferrari has been a “dream of his”.
