Market in turmoil
Parallel to the track season, the world of Formula 1 also continues to experience one of the silly season most interesting market trends in recent years. The sensational announcement at the beginning of February which certified Lewis Hamilton's future transfer to Ferrari, combined with the chaos within the Red Bull world and the fact that many drivers' contracts are expiring at the end of 2024, is keeping more than half a grid in suspense.
One week after another however aSome pieces seem to be starting to fall into place: Fernando Alonso has started to get out of the game of chairs, renewing with Aston Martin until the end of 2026. Now Helmut Markoconsultant for Red Bull, provided a very interesting clue about another excellent name in the market: Carlos Sainz. The Spaniard, leaving Ferrari and a great protagonist of this start to the season, has been approached alternately by Red Bull, Mercedes and Sauber/Audi.
Sainz towards the Audi project
Marko admitted contacts with the man who, among other things, is a former driver of the Red Bull youth project, but he hinted that the Spaniard is particularly tempted by another project: the one that the house of the Rings is carrying out, in to whom Sainz's father is also very close.
“We are talking to him, he is having his best season in Formula 1 – Marko declared to the Austrian site Kleine Zeitung – but has a very advantageous offer from Audi that we can neither match nor beat. We have known him since his time at Toro Rosso, even then he raced with Max. But it hurt him a lot when we supported Verstappen at Red Bull and not him“. Sainz moving towards Audi would also confirm the advantage acquired by the Italian Antonelli for the Mercedes seat. In Red Bull, however, Sergio Perez would be the favorite to be reconfirmed.
