Lewis Hamilton: Here’s what he has to say about Red Bull Racing / Formula 1

The most recent controversial story in the Formula 1 scene concerns a request from Lewis Hamilton’s representative at this year’s Red Bull Race. But the Mercedes star, who has extended his contract with the star brand’s factory team until the end of 2025, wants nothing to do with it.

When asked by “Sky Sports F1”, the seven-time world champion explained: “I don’t know where this story comes from, or rather, I know it comes from Christian (Horner, boss of the Red Bull Racing team, remember. ), but I don’t really understand what he is talking about. Because as far as I know, no one on my team has spoken to him.”

“I haven’t spoken to him for years. He approached me earlier this year about a meeting. But that’s what happened,” claimed the Brit. And he praised: “I can only congratulate Red Bull Racing on a great year and I hope that we can challenge them again in the near future.”

Hamilton admitted when asked that he would certainly welcome the opportunity to face Max Verstappen in the same car. “Red Bull Racing has done a great job and it’s a fantastic team. Every driver would love to drive for such a great team. But it’s not my dream to switch from a good car to a winning cockpit. Instead, the dream is to do some construction work in us until we can win again. That’s why I stay with Mercedes.”
