Pierre Gasly refused to comment on speculation linking Nico Hulkenberg to his seat at Red Bull.

After the Monaco Grand Prix, it was suggested the German was being considered as a backup plan for the Frenchman next season, should his results continue to struggle. 

Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko quickly rejected the news as "far-fetched" and on Thursday in Canada, Gasly wasn't interested either.

"I don't want to waste any time with this bulls**t," he said. "I have more important things to take care of.

"For me, bulls**t like this is just bad journalism. I don't want to comment anymore about this."

We'll consider that a denial then Pierre...
