• Lewis Hamilton’s father💯 na♉med as “representative” at centre of Red Bull drama

Horner revealed that Red Bull received an enquiry about joining the team earlier this year from Hamilton’s representative, to the ꧟Daily Mail.

After a tit-for-tat exchange where Hamilton denied making contact, and clai🍎med Horner initiated it, Red Bull told the BBC that Hamilton’s father was the “representative” in question.

Mercedes te🧔am principal Wolff reacted to : “I just don🎉’t know what drives the guy.

“We just don’t understand his thinking to come up with these things꧟.

“What happened is that Christian, through an agency that we work with, wan✃ted to have Lewis’ contact details 🐈to speak about the seat. That’s how the whole thing went.

“It was Christian enquiring𓃲 about Lewis’ availa🐻bility. 

“Lewis had an exchange with Christian, which he immediaඣtely told me about, and which was not about a seat but it was just blah.

“I don’t know what drives him to come 🐼out 🎃with this.”

Wol🔯ff and Horner’s feisty relationship took another hit in the past week after an appeara꧂nce from the Red Bull team principal on a comedy show.

Horner told Sky’s programme A League Of Their Own about the notorious 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, claiming Mercedes “f*****꧙ up” and Wolff’s anger was due to “a bad hair day”.

Wolff, in Abu Dhab🐲i fo𒁃r the season-finale grand prix, reacted: “You’ve won the season, be happy about it, humble, enjoy it.

“Don’t come out with comments about Abu Dhab🧸i 2021, which are completely off the mark…. character question.

“I just wonder what’s going on up there.”

Red Bull have dominated Formula 1 since the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix two yeಌars ago🌜.

Max ꦅVerstappen has claimed 🍬three championships in a row since that infamous day.

Back at th꧋e same location, Red Bull have won 20 of 21 g🌜rands prix in 2023 so far.

Hamilton, who penned a new Mercedes deal in August to en෴d speculation ab🃏out his future, has been vocal about their need for a major development jump to challenge Red Bull in 2024.
