Key Takeaways​

He noted this as a normal occurrence in the racing world, especially when drivers face challenging periods in their careers.
  • No Serious Discussions: Horner firmly stated that there were no substantial talks with Lewis Hamilton about joining Red Bull. He acknowledged his long-standing acquaintance with Anthony Hamilton but reaffirmed that Red Bull never considered changing their driver lineup.
  • Red Bull's Stance on Driver Lineup: Despite acknowledging the questions surrounding Hamilton's performance, given his two-year Grand Prix winless streak, Horner reiterated Red Bull's satisfaction with their current drivers and dismissed any possibility of Hamilton joining their team.
Christian Horner - Red Bull


During the first free practice session in Abu Dhabi, Christian Horner, Red Bull Racing's team principal, responded to rumours about Lewis Hamilton and his team's alleged contact with Red Bull. Horner's comments aimed to clarify the situation.
"It's remarkable how much traction this has got," Horner said. "It's entirely normal for drivers' representatives, drivers' parents to have different conversations during the course of a year."

When asked specifically if it was Hamilton's dad who made an inquiry, Horner replied:
"Look, we haven't had any serious discussion with Lewis. There was never a seat available. I've known Anthony Hamilton for many years. He's a good guy, a proud racing father, and inevitably when drivers go through tough spots.
"Let's face it, Lewis hasn't won a Grand Prix for two years. It's inevitable that questions will be asked up and down the paddock. But there was never any engagement and I don't know who represents who or what but with the same surname, you would think they were reasonably close."

Horner also commented on the state of Red Bull's driver lineup:
"We're very happy with the drivers that we've got," Horner stated to Sky Sports. "But of course, you can understand. Lewis hasn't won a race for almost two years.
"You can understand the questions being asked. It's entirely logical and normal for those type of things to happen. There is no seat available, so it's really a non-story."

Despite the ongoing rumours, Red Bull's stance remains firm: Lewis Hamilton is not a prospective option for their team. They are more than happy with Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez.

Triple Crown as well, but if they did the chrome version in reverse, i.e. black in chrome, chrome in black, that would be it for me ( chrome the colour hence its lowercase ;) not Chrome Chrome)

They need to also dump the google chrome wheels. Not a fan.
 
Another interesting jumbled starting grid. Rooting for Charles who hopefully will not fall prey to the inevitable divebomb move and go go go McLaren.

Still a lot to race for. Hope it's a good one. Anyone care to make a prediction?

My heart wants a Charles or even Oscar/Lando win but most likely 1. Max, 2. Charles, 3. Checo.

I think Checo's going to do himself in again. Max for the win. With you on Charles taking second. George in third will make it interesting. Carlos to storm from the back to pip Lewis to the line. Suppose Oscar and Lando in 4th and 5th is wishful thinking, but would be a nice finish for them in the constructor's.
