via PlanetF1Red Bull hopeful addresses Formula 1 links as opportunity comes into viewNikola Tsolov, a 19-year-old driver and current leader of the Formula 2 championship, is facing speculation about a potential promotion to Formula 1 with Red Bull. He has been performing well, leading the championship by 20 points with six victories, and is set to test a Formula 1 car later this month at Imola, which could help him qualify for a practice session in the future.
