A Sky Sports pundit "dared" Christian Horner to make a move for Lewis Hamilton to give Formula 1 fans the pleasure of a "one-year shootout" with Max Verstappen in the same car.
The pair infamously duelled for the 2021 title with several on-track incidents between the pair before the Red Bull racer controversially came out on top in the Abu Dhabi finale. But, since then, fans have been deprived of any more battling between them because of Mercedes' performance struggles.
Hamilton is in the final year of his contract with the Silver Arrows and a renewal seemed to be a mere formality at one point. But negotiations are yet to yield the desired result and Ferrari are said to have thrown a spanner in the works with a £40m contract offer to join them next year.
