Helmut Marko has vowed that Red Bull won’t be pressurised by Audi’s offer to Ca🦂rlos Sainz.

Ferrari ♉driver Sainz will lose his seat to Lewis Hamilton in 2025 and is at the centre of the F1 driver market.

Currently a free agent, his options include Red Bull, Mercedes or Sauber who will bec൲ome Audi a year later.

Red Bull could offer Sainz a drive alo🧸ngside Max Verstappen if they opt to get rid of Sergio Perez.

“Sainz is c💖urrently in great shape,” Marko told .

“I think he has a v♛ery grea🍸t three-year offer from Audi.

“But he has to make a decision relatively soon. “We, on the other hand, won't make a🅰 decision soon.

“We won't let things like that ꦇput us under pressure.”

The claim of a three-year o✤ffer would take Sainz into 2027, two years into the new F1 regulations. Bu༺t it would also mean a first year, next season, with Sauber.

Sainz came through the Red Bull junior pr𒐪ogramme and teamed with Verstappen briefly at Toro Rosso.

“Well, he w🎐as still very young back then,” Marko reacted.

“But now he has developed great and is♑ showing incredi꧟ble form.”

S🐻ainz is the winner of the only tw🐬o F1 grands prix since 2022 which Red Bull have failed to win.

Victღory in Australia this season came in the aftermath of appendix surgery.

Red Bull could opt to bring him back into the fold at the expense of Pereཧz, whose own form has impressed this year.

Perez has claimed three P2 finishes and a P3 last week a🅠t the Chinese Grand Prix to state his case for a new contrac😼t.

But Audi’s interes𓃲t in Sainz is holding up the dri🍨ver market.

They will run as Saubeꦓr until 2026 when the new regulations come i🌳nto effect.

From there, Audi intendꦯ to make an immediate 🐓splash and are putting together their driver plans now.

Sainz has a relationship with the manufac🎃turer because his father won the Dakar Rally for them.

But a move to Sauber, as they will remain, in 2025 is no guarantee of a fast car in comparison to the extremely competitive Ferrari that he is currently fight🔥ing at the front with.
