"Formula One is the pinnacle of motor sport and if I'm going to drive competitive again, I'd like to look at that formula before looking at anything else," Mansell said Monday.
Mansell said he has declined offers with several lower-ranking Formula One teams. He admitted the top teams seemed to have their driving teams set for next season.
"If I just wanted to accept a drive I could have had five different drives since April," he said. "But I want to drive where I feel I can compete and win. And we all know in Formula One there are only two or three drives that really have a chance to win."
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
