Vandoorne rumours are false, says manager

Stoffel Vandoorne won't lose his McLaren seat to any other driver, according to the driver's manager.

There have been strong rumours that Vandoorne will be sacked by McLaren followiing his underwhelming season so far.

Vandoorne is one of a few drivers whose seat is under threat after failing to impress this season in his MCL33.

Most rumours about other drivers suggest that they will be switching teams at the end of the season, but in Vandoorne's case, the speculation has been that he will be dropped in the next race or two.

His manager Alessandro Alunni Bravi rubbishes the speculation that Vandoorne will lose his McLaren seat.

"There are always rumours. There were too many this weekend I think, they do not really reflect reality," Vandoorne's manager told PlanetF1.com.

However, Bravi admitted that the Belgian could swap teams for next season's campaign.
