Tsolov Vows His F1 Chance Will Come
Nikola Tsolov is used to waiting his turn, and the Formula 2 championship leader says he is prepared to keep doing exactly that. With Red Bull's driver pool more crowded than ever, the 19-year-old junior insists his Formula 1 opportunity will come, even if the timing is still far from clear.
Why Does Nikola Tsolov Believe His F1 Chance Will Come?
Team principal Alan Permane recently described Tsolov as "next in line" among Red Bull's junior drivers, but Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad have both strengthened their positions with impressive performances this season. "Nothing yet, unfortunately," Tsolov said in Hungary when asked what he could say about his future. "But it's still early days. We need to get through the summer break."
Is Tsolov Focused on F2 or an F1 Seat Right Now?
Tsolov said his priority remains winning the Formula 2 championship rather than focusing on premature reports that he has already secured a Racing Bulls seat. "I need to keep doing what I'm doing. Obviously, I have no doubt that if everything goes the same way, I surely will get an opportunity one day."
What Is Tsolov's Approach to His F1 Future?
"I focus on the current, which is F2, and obviously, the better I do today in F2, the more chance I give myself," he said.
