Could we have seen a partnership between Lewis Hamilton and his arch-title rival Max Verstappen at Red Bull?
Lewis Hamilton reportedly had discussions with Red Bull about potentially joining the team before ultimately deciding to extend his contract with Mercedes. A representative of Hamilton reached out to Red Bull to explore the possibility of partnering with Max Verstappen, according to Christian Horner, the team principal of Red Bull. However, Hamilton ultimately signed a new deal with Mercedes, along with teammate George Russell, to stay with the team until 2025. Hamilton had also previously admitted to having informal talks with Ferrari but felt that a move to the Italian team didn’t feel right. Red Bull is content with their current lineup and doesn’t see Hamilton and Verstappen working well together.
