Fisichella dismisses speculation

Giancarlo Fisichella insists he has no concerns over his future at Force India despite the team's link-up with McLaren.

Ron Dennis' McLaren team have agreed a five-year partnership with Force India which will see the squad owned by Indian billionaire Dr Vijay Mallya supplied with Mercedes engines and technical support from next season.

"I originally signed a two-year contract which was reviewed in September to incorporate the McLaren deal," Fisichella told the official F1 website, www.formula1.com.

"The team offered me a better car and a different package. I accepted their proposal and both sides signed the new document between Singapore and China.

"This is why Dr Mallya made the announcement in Shanghai.

"The only thing I know is that in September we were told that Pedro could test and we could not say before it was made official so I was not at all surprised.

"As for the rest - I am not really interested in F1 gossip."

The former Benetton, Jordan and Minardi driver added: "The partnership is our biggest step towards finding competitiveness in the future.

"Vijay is building on a solid platform and going forward, so that Adrian and I are given a real chance to perform."
