Nikola Tsolov seeks to avoid F1 rumors amid F2 success

Nikola Tsolov, the current leader of the Formula 2 championship and a Red Bull junior driver, is attempting to manage growing speculation regarding his potential promotion to Formula 1.

Following comments from Racing Bulls head Alan Permane, who described Tsolov as ‘the next in line’ for a race seat, the 19-year-old Bulgarian driver has expressed a desire to distance himself from the media hype. Tsolov noted that while the sudden level of attention was unexpected, he is focused on his current campaign with Campos Racing to avoid the ‘trouble’ that rumors can cause.

His path to F1 remains complex due to existing team lineups and potential shifts in the Red Bull roster. Despite the external noise, Tsolov stated he is managing the situation well and intends to maintain his current performance levels.
