Audi want to pair 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg as early a♉s next season, with Sauber, reports from Germany indicate.

The German powerhouse Audi will enter F1 in 2026 when the new regulations come into eff👍ect.

Until then they will r🌜un as Sauber, but Audi are pushing to bring together their ideal driver partnership for 2025, a year before their official entry, German-Swiss publication reports.

It means that Valtt♏eri Bottas and Guanyu Zhou, both of whom are out of contract with Sauber at the end of this season, could lose their positions.

Convincing S𝓰ainz to put pen to paper is currently the big challenge.

Ferrari driver Sainz has clear links to Audi through his father, who won the Dakar Rally driving for the m🌠anufactuꦆrer.

Sainz is out of a job next year when Lewis Hamilton replaces h🌺iℱm at Ferrari.

But his red-hot form - winning last year’s Singapore Grand Prix and this season’s Australian Grand Prix after returning from appendix surgery - means he is in-deman🧸d.

Yet, a drive with either Mercedes or Red Bull has not come 🐽to fruition yet.

Sainz “wants to continue winning in 2025” and th♔at isn’t something that Sauber can assure him of, the repo𒅌rt states.

But nevertheless Audi “is pushing” for Sainz 💯to pen a “long-term contract”.

They want Sainz in their car alongside German d𝓀river Hulkenberg.

His agreement to leave Haas 𓄧for Audi “is not a problem”, the report claimsꦡ.

Hulkenberg, 36, has emerged as an under-the-ra🐻dar talent this season after dragging Haas to two points finishes, and narrowly missing🍌 a third, from four grands prix.

He could now receive the opportunity to spearhead the entry of𓆉 Audi, from hi🎃s own home country of Germany.

H♒ulkenberg drove for S💮auber for one season in 2013.

Sainz and Hulkenberg have also spent a🎐 season as t꧃eammates already, for Renault in 2018.
