[autotag]Carlos Sainz[/autotag] is the top driver available for the 2025 Formula 1 season after Lewis Hamilton announced his decision to leave Mercedes for Ferrari after 2024. Since the news broke, Sainz has been linked to several Formula 1 teams, such as Mercedes and Audi. However, another team has firmly entered the mix, and it could be his best possible situation.
According to Red Bull’s Helmut Marko in an interview with Austria’s Kleine Zeitung newspaper, Sainz is talking to the organization about reuniting as Max Verstappen’s teammate in 2025. However, Marko also stated that Audi has presented Sainz with a lucrative offer that Red Bull can’t match. Ultimately, it may come down to money or more success in Formula 1.
Sergio Perez currently serves as Verstappen’s teammate, but his future has been in doubt due to his performances. Sainz could swoop in and steal Perez’s seat, but it will come down to what Red Bull wants moving forward. Audi represents a great financial option, but Sainz will have to take less money to join Formula 1’s top organization in 2025.
