Red Bull team principal Christian Horner claimed that representatives from Lewis Hamilton’s side had contacted Red Bull earlier in the year about a possible move. However, Hamilton denied this and revealed that it was actually Horner who initially reached out to him. Horner clarified that it was Hamilton’s father, Anthony, who made the contact, but stated that there were no serious discussions or seat availability for Hamilton at Red Bull. Horner suggested that it wouldn’t be surprising if Hamilton was exploring other options, given Mercedes’ struggles in recent seasons. Despite the speculation, Mercedes announced in September that Hamilton had extended his contract with the team through 2025.
