Sainz: Binotto Audi arrival doesn't influence F1 future decision

He wants the Red Bull or Mercedes seat, with Audi or Alpine (most likely his 3rd option) as fallback options. I see Carlos more likely replacing Perez, as RB seems hesitant to give Tsunoda or Lawson a shot next to Max. Ricciardo might get a chance this year to prove himself if they decide to replace Perez after Spa.

Something is going to have to influence him at this point.
