Carlos Sainz, Valtteri Bottas and Daniel Ricciardo are among the big-name F1 drivers with an uncertain 2025 - and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Guanyu Zhou is growing frustr💜ated as he tr🐟ies to secure a seat.

Sauber driver Zhou is fighting to either keep his current drive or find new employments next season but the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2025 F1 driver line-up depends on others.

Notably, Sainz🌟’s big decision - between Sauber, Williams and Alpine 𝓰- will influence everybody else’s moves.

Zhou believes he ꦅhas “more t🎃han one” option on the table, in response to a question at Silverstone from ltxcn.top.

But he admitted: “We’re all waiting for Carlos to make decisions, but we are continuing to speak to different teams to 𒀰understand whಌere I’m going.

“There’s some interest but then we need to understand a little bit more clear🥃ly the picture o⛄nce he makes his decision.

“T🧸hen we can talk more into that because also the teams are waiting for him, obviously.

“It’s clear he is the priority ♈on the market now but things remain open and at this point I𓆉 still feel confident that I can have a chance somewhere.

“I’m surprised that he is waiting so long, Carlos. Honestly I feel it’s a bit difficult to understand ꦰjust because it’s not that difficult to make a decision.

“You’re not really making a decision forꦚ a team maybe fi♐ghting for the world championship...

“You’re making a♐ decision between a team that’s mid-runner and a team that depends on where you want to head off. I don’t know what he’s thinking but we’re just wait🎉ing for him.”

Zhou isꦆ not alone in awaiting Sainz to kick-off the domino 🀅effect in the driver market.

His 🌼teammate Bottas is among those looking up and down the paddock to remain on next year’s grid.

Th🅰ere will only be one Sauber seat available because they have signed Haas’ Nico Hulkenberg.

Zhou said about the market: “It’s not something I expected, esp♊ecially with [Sainz’s] certain stance.

“I feel like he’s holding up everyone’s decision, but at some stꦉage I don’t see just the drivers, I see the teams have some deadline at least. Because you can’t bꦏe just waiting for another until he makes his mind clear.

“So it’s weird or it’s strange in a way, obviously for me to experience that for the first time. Also for a lot of other drivers on the grid. Bu🐽t yeah, nothing we can do.

“We have to wait but then we just🐲 continue to talk, making open conversations with different teams so we can have the options if they’re available.”

Zhou in൩sists that, unlike Sainz, he is ready to c🔜ommit to whoever demands his signature immediately.

His preference for a longer-term commitment could als𒆙o hold sway, if others attempt to sign ༺one-year contracts.

“I think one thing that waℱs clear is thaꦑt I don’t feel any team will take the drivers just for an individual year anymore, just because they want the drivers to be there for two years in a row because the new rules [will change],” Zhou said.

“We ar𝕴e waiting to take a long term [contract] and it looks like all the teams want this.”

Sauber 'doesn't suit' Zhou driving style

Zhou and Bottas have not been blessed with hugely competit🐷ive machinery this season.

S🌊auber will remain in their cu𓆉rrent guise next year until a full evolution into Audi in 2026.

“It’s definitely been very tricky this season,” said Zhou whose best result thꦿis season was P11 in the opening grand prix.

“We made a massive concept change in the caꦛr, but then expect to be good. And then we face a lot of different issues.

“And I think theܫ biggest topic for me is that for my driving style, it doesn’t really suit as good as the previous cars.

“Because I’m a lot more aggressive in terms of approach comp𝓡ared to my teammate. This year’s car is super s🍃ensitive with everything.

“So I just explain how I need to ki𝔍nd of underdrive a little🌠 bit in order to get better. But I don’t feel I’m able to push as hard as I could previously.

“That’s just settled back a little bit of pace, but we’re finding a ඣway around it. And of course I’m trying to adapt and adjust my driving style.”
