Lewis Hamilton held a “secret meeting” with Red Bull in 2012 prior to joining Mercedes, claims Christian Horner in his new book.

Hamilton, who won his only McLaren world drivers’ championship in 2008, was eyeing a move away from the team in 2012 and eventually joined Mercedes, where he won an astonishing six titles across 12 years with the Silver Arrows.
