Ahead of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Red Bull Racing chief Christian Horner unexpectedly announced that Lewis Hamilton or his representatives had approached him to join the team. Lewis denied these rumors on Sky Sport…
Lewis Hamilton: “I don’t really understand where this story comes from. I know these are Christian’s words, but I don’t understand what he’s talking about. As far as I know, no one on my team has spoken to him. Personally, I haven’t spoken to Christian in years.
At the beginning of the year he approached me for a meeting, but I simply congratulated them on a great season. I wrote, “I hope I can fight you in the near future.” That’s all. No negotiations took place. You know Christian, he likes that kind of thing.
I would like the opportunity to compete with Max in an equally fast car. No problem. Red Bull has done an excellent job, built the best car, every driver would dream of racing in such a vehicle.
But I don’t dream of going from a not so good car to a winning car. The dream is to start where we are and work our way to victory. That’s why I stayed at Mercedes.”
