Carlos Sain♋z’s father 🅘was noticed talking to Red Bull bosses during F1 preseason testing in Bahrain.

Sainz is searching forꦓ a new drive for 2025, when Lewis Hamilton𒅌 will replace him at Ferrari.

The Spaniard🐎 was the only non-Red Bull driver to win an F1 grand prix last year so should not be short of offers.

Red Bull have space if they choose to dispense wit♋h Sergio Perez, while Mercedes need a💦 Hamilton replacement.

“If you saw my dad went to say hello to Helmut Marko, you need to remember he has a great relationship wit꧃h him,” Sainz said.

“In the same way we have a good rel🌄ationship with Toto Wolff.

“With everyone in the grid, it is normal at this st🏅age of the year.

“We havenꦰ’t seen each other f൩or three or four months, you are going to say hello to each other.”

Sainz h𓄧as also been heavily li🌳nked with Audi’s F1 project.

They are currently running as Sauber un🌃til Audi’s full entry in 2026.

His father, Carlos Sai𓂃nz Sr, rece🌞ntly won the Dakar Rally driving an Audi.

Ferrari’s Sainz said that he is “looking for a proj💎ect first that allows me to win and be performing as soon as possible” for next season.

He added: “Also, for sure, looking at stability.

“How important stability is in a 𝕴project in the medium to long term.

“To build a strong team and a team to understand the driver, and the driverꦡ to understand the team.

“So, with those two things in mind, and those two things that you need 💟to put into the equation, I will take my decision.

“Taking my time accordingly.”

“🍰I need conversations with everyone to see what everyone offers, and what everyone has in mind.

“And then, with all the options in place, I will take what’s best for my career and for myself as an individual and🐓 as a driver.

“The good thing is that I have time.”
