Franco Colapinto is refusing to be distracted by the speculation linking him with Sauber for the 2025 F1 season.

After his impressive drive to eighth at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Williams boss James Vowles outlined his desire to work with Sauber tℱo find Colaptino a full-time drive for next year.

The second seat Sauber, which will become Audi in 2ꦉ026, is the only realistic seat left on the grid.

Red Bull are still yet to announce who will partner Yuki Tsunoda at VCARB, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Liam Lawson expected to get the seat over 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo.

In terms of the second Sauber drive, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas 🌞and Gabriel Bortoleto are thought to be their main options.

Speaking to F1TV ꦰin Singapore, Colaptin🤡o said he has “no idea” what’s going to happen next year.

“I have no idea about anything,” he said. “I’m with Williams a🐟nd James gave me an amazing opportunity, and I’m very, very pro🐓ud of what we are achieving together only in my second race.

“I hav𝕴e no idea what’s going to happ🐈en in 2025, but it’s not something that is in my head right now. That’s why I have managers that are working towards what I have to do next season.

“I’m not really thinking about a lot of things. My focus is on this year and the amazing opportunity I got to race in F1 i🐲n the middle of the season.”

Colapinto insisted he’s not th▨inking about his ꦆfuture as he looks to impress in the remaining seven rounds.

“My goal was🧸 to come in F1 and try to stay. The opportunity I got from Williams is very special and i💜t’s been a dream I’ve had since I was very little,” he added.

“I’m enjoying every moment of it and I think that’s the most important part. I don’t know how long ♊it’s going to last, if I’m going to be here next year or not… I don’t really care and I’m not thinking about those things.”

Bottas’ view

Bottas confirmed talks are still ongoing with new Audi boss Mattia Binotto, hi☂nting a decision could be made aheಞad of the United States Grand Prix.

“We've been in talks now for a while with Mattia since he joined and Alessandro as well.” he explained. “I can't really share much. I might know a bit more than other peopl🅘e, but let's just focus o🐭n the racing this weekend.

“At least there's then a good time between this and the next race to continue the talks and then we'ꦑll see what happens.”
