Audi’s F1 Dilemma: A Search for Hulkenberg’s 2025 Teammate Sparks Interest from IndyCar to Red Bull
Is Audi holding out for Red Bull? | Unexpected IndyCar victor in the running for 2025
Various potential picks have surfaced for Audi's 2025 F1 lineup, with an IndyCar victor among them.
Audi has not yet made a decision regarding who will team up with Nico Hulkenberg at Sauber for the 2025 Formula 1 campaign.
Under Mattia Binotto's leadership, he faces a challenging choice for the upcoming year.
Sauber might keep Valtteri Bottas on board, yet Audi seems skeptical of the Finnish driver's capacity to revitalize the team.
According to the German publication Auto Motor und Sport, the former management team under Andreas Seidl was contemplating a younger driver and had informal discussions with Felipe Drugovich.
Mick Schumacher's name keeps making the rounds.
Schumacher is presently associated with the Alpine team, competing on their behalf in the World Endurance Championship.
He is perceived as a 'safe choice,' and acquiring him would mean the team has two German drivers on board.
Apart from Schumacher, considering Kevin Magnussen is a possibility, however, based on his performance compared to Hulkenberg, he would not be as strong a choice as Bottas.
Binotto and Audi also need to take into account the circumstances surrounding Red Bull.
Earlier this year, discussions were said to have taken place between Sauber and Liam Lawson.
Nonetheless, it is anticipated that Lawson will take the wheel for VCARB at some point in the upcoming year.
The outcome of the current circumstances at Red Bull might leave either Daniel Ricciardo or Sergio Perez open for opportunities.
Perez's prospects with Red Bull remain uncertain, even though the team has supported him after a challenging race at the Belgian Grand Prix.
Likewise, Ricciardo has not yet persuaded Red Bull that he is prepared to rejoin the primary team.
AMuS indicates that Audi might benefit from delaying their decision to observe if Perez, often referred to as the 'midfield master,' or Ricciardo becomes accessible.
A potential surprise pick is Alex Palou, who has won the IndyCar championship twice.
The Spanish racer, aged 27, has clinched the IndyCar championships for two consecutive years and is in a strong position to secure a third title.
