Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff addressed the situation surrounding the contact between Red Bull and Lewis Hamilton. Red Bull’s Christian Horner claimed that Hamilton’s camp approached him about a potential partnership, but Hamilton denied this and said that Horner messaged him for a catch-up conversation. Wolff expressed confusion over Horner’s handling of the situation and revealed that it was actually Horner who inquired about Hamilton’s availability through an agency they work with. Red Bull has had a dominant Formula 1 season, winning 20 out of 21 races so far, while Mercedes has slipped in the pecking order since last year’s technical regulations change. Wolff encouraged his team to look for motivation and rivals from other teams but stated that he has no foes in F1.
