Lewis Hamilton and Christian Horner appear to have very different recollections of Hamilton’s talks with Red Bull regarding a bombshell switch. So where does the truth lie?
The Mail Online reported that Lewis Hamilton’s representatives had supposedly contacted Red Bull about a possible drive before Hamilton committed to Mercedes. This was significant because the story included a direct quote from Red Bull team boss Christian Horner. Hamilton denied the talks, saying that he hadn’t spoken to Christian in years and that no one from his team had contacted him. However, he did admit that Horner had reached out to him earlier in the year. Hamilton suggested that Horner was “just stirring things” and that he loves that kind of stuff. It appears that there is a mismatch between what Horner said and what Hamilton said, but the word “an” in Horner’s quote could be crucial, as it could imply past inquiries made by Hamilton’s team and a separate inquiry initiated by Red Bull.
