At the end of the 2024 season, Carlos Sainz will leave the Ferrari factory team – the Spaniard does not yet have a place in Formula 1 for 2025. And while the pilot himself is exploring possible employment options, representatives of the future Audi team want the driver to become part of their project. At the same time, the German automaker is even ready to make certain concessions.
According to information RacingNews365, Audi is ready to wait for the driver’s decision and even canceled the deadline, which, according to rumors, is scheduled for April. Moreover, the team is ready to offer the Spaniard a lifetime contract, but not for performances in Formula 1, but for the status of Audi brand ambassador. At the same time, Carlos Sainz himself is interested in the agreement from a financial point of view, but doubts whether it will be beneficial in terms of sporting results.
It is noted that Audi has allegedly already reached an agreement with the German Nico Hulkenberg. The name of the second driver will be determined after the decision of Carlos Sainz, who in turn chooses between Red Bull and Mercedes-AMG, although it is unknown how interested these teams are in the Spanish driver.
