Antonelli: I do not negotiate with other teams.
In recent days, the press and fans are discussing the possible transfer of Max Verstappen to Mercedes next season. At Silverstone, Kimi Antonelli, who is formally guaranteed to race for Mercedes until the end of the season, stated that he is not concerned about the hype surrounding the reigning world champion and that he is not negotiating with other teams.
Kimi Antonelli: "Obviously, a lot is happening around. I am confident that the team is doing everything possible to secure a better future. I am talking not only about next year but about the long-term future. There are many talks, but my goal is to achieve the best results regardless of the circumstances.
I am not negotiating with anyone. Mercedes gave me the opportunity to debut in Formula 1, and I am not discussing anything with anyone. I am happy with the team I am racing for, and I am quite sure that the team wants me to stay with them.
In my case, I just need to do my best and minimize mistakes. I know that the team believes in me, so there is no reason to worry."
