The Offaly man finished fifth in this year's F2 Championship.
Offaly's F1 hopeful Alex Dunne says he's happy to "ignore" media rumours around his future in the sport.
It comes after a year that saw the Clonbullogue teenager linked with a seat with Red Bull.
Reports suggest the energy drinks company's chief F1 advisor, Helmut Marko offered Dunne a deal.
The approach was reportedly made without the blessing of the company, and Marko has since been moved on from the team after more than 20 years.
During the season Dunne left the McLaren Junior Driver Development programme, hinting at some big news to come.
He has since re-signed for Rodin Motorsport in F2 for 2026 after finishing fifth in this year's championship.
He says the rumours are just noise he's happy to block out:
