Christian Horner rates chances of Lewis Hamilton joining Red Bull when Mercedes deal ends

As one of the most valuable athletes in sport edges closer to free agency, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner is sure to be among those keeping an eye on Lewis Hamilton 's contract situation.

The seven-time world champion has repeatedly hinted at his desire to extend with Mercedes, but as things stand, his 11-year association with the team will cease at the end of 2023. Horner was recently asked about the prospect of bringing his biggest rival's star driver to Milton Keynes should that happen, but the Red Bull boss appeared content with the assets at his disposal.

"What he has achieved in F1 is second to none," Horner told Sky News. "We are very happy with the drivers that we have. They are committed as a pair for this and next season so I can't see where we would be able to accommodate Lewis. I am sure they will sort their issues out and we are certainly not writing him off yet."
