It has been several months since Lewis Hamilton renewed his contract with the Mercedes Formula One team, but Red Bull Racing Team Principal Christian Horner has stirred the pot by claiming that the British ace approached him about a possible move. Hamilton has now broken his silence and has denied that he approached Horner, saying that it was in fact the other way around.
At the start of the year, Hamilton held a contract with Mercedes only until the end of 2023, and there had been a lot of speculations about his future. Mercedes have been suffering a massive dip in form over the last two seasons compared to their highly successful string of eight Constructors' Championship titles in a row, and some believed that Hamilton may already be looking at his options outside the team and even outside the sport.
