Sauber driver Pascal Wehrlein says that he is not dwelling on the fact he missed out on the 2017 Mercedes seat.
The young German is a Mercedes junior driver, and was poised to take a seat at the team for the upcoming season but instead the Silver Arrows went for Finn Valtteri Bottas due to Wehrlein's lack of experience.
"I've already forgotten about it completely," Wehrlein is quoted by the German broadcaster RTL. "From the moment it was clear that I would be with Sauber this year, I focused completely on that," he added.
Wehrlein enters his second year in Formula 1 after making his debut in 2016 with Manor who are no longer part of the grid. The 22 year old scored a point for the team and himself last year at the Austrian Grand Prix, but was chosen over former team mate Esteban Ocon for a Force India seat.
