Fernando Alonso's renewal at 🦩Aston Martin removes a major opt♛ion for Carlos Sainz

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz has seen one major option for his F1 future disappear as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso signed a new Aston Martin deal.
Alonso has penned fresh 𝔉terms to remain with his current team into the 2026 season, when new F1 engine regulations will kick iꦓn.
Alonso’s commi🦋tment - when he was an option for Mercedes and Red Bull in 2025 - is a crucial part of the driver market solved.
There are big ramifications for Ferrari’s Sainz.
W✱illiams and Sauber are now his two ဣlikeliest landing spots for next year, ’s Lawrence Barretto reports.
Red Bull are a less likely option because they would need to get rid of Ser🐬gio Per🍌ez, and bring in Sainz to partner Max Verstappen as he once did for Toro Rosso.
The lack of significant interest from Mercedes, who must replace the Ferrari-bo𒅌und Lewis Hamilton, in Sainz is n📖otable.
Williams have🌟 Alex Albon signed up long-term but could let Logan Sargeant go,🤪 if they can attract Sainz.
Despite their struggles with crashes and the lack of a spare chassis 𒐪this year, Williams are a team on 𒁏the up under James Vowles’ leadership.
Sauber, meanwhile, will evolve into Audi in 2026.
Sainz has a clear link to Audi because his father won the Dakar Rally representing the Ge🔴rman manufacturer.
Th𒈔e Spanish driver isꦺ in-demand amid some red-hot form.
His win at last year's Singapore Grand Prix and this year's Australia𓂃n Grand Prix are the only two race wins from a non-Red Bull driver since 2022.
He returned to win iꦯn Australia after appendix surgery to make the fജeat more remarkable.
But, it now seems that he must take a step backwards according to the curᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ𝐆rent grid.
Williams are 🌳eighth and S🍌auber ninth in the current constructors' standings after four rounds of 2024, while Ferrari trail only Red Bull.
