Carlos Sainz has emerged in the running as the latest candidate for a Red Bull F1 seat in 2025.
Sainz, who was a product of the Red Bull junior programme and made his F1 debut with sister team Toro Rosso in 2015, claimed a superb victory at the Australian Grand Prix two weeks after an appendectomy.When directly asked whether Red Bull would take Sainz back, Horner replied:"Look, I mean based on a performance like that you couldn't rule any possibility out.”Horner suggested Red Bull will also consider options outside of their own driver pool.
“Yuki’s a very quick driver, we know that, but I think we want to feel the best pairing that we can in Red Bull Racing and sometimes you've got to look outside the pool as well,” he added. "You've had a very fast unemployed driver win today. The market is reasonably fluid with certain drivers.However, Horner insisted Red Bull are in no “desperate rush” to make a decision as he praised the early performances of current incumbent Perez.
“I think you just want to take the time and obviously Checo was compromised today,” he said. “He’s had a great start in the season too so we're not in any desperate rush."
