Lewis Hamilton was open to forming an explosive partnership with Max Verstappen at Red Bull, according to Christian Horner. <\/p>\n

Since his controversial defeat to Verstappen in the 2021 drivers\u2019 championship, Hamilton and Mercedes have endured a barren couple of seasons, with the seven-time world champion not picking up a single win. Amid Mercedes\u2019 woes and with his contract winding down, rumours were rife earlier this year that Hamilton held talks with Ferrari.<\/p>\n

The 38-year-old went on to commit his future to Mercedes with contract until the end of 2025. However, before penning that deal, he also sounded the Silver Arrows\u2019 great rivals Red Bull, Horner has revealed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have had several conversations over the years about Lewis joining,\u201d the Red Bull team principle told the Daily Mail. \u201cThey have reached out a few times. Most recently, earlier in the year, there was an inquiry about whether there would be any interest. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe met John Elkann [Ferrari chairman], too. I think there were serious talks. It was around Monaco [in May]. There were definitely conversations, perhaps with Vasseur, too. But certainly with Elkann.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following their bitter title fight in 2021, which featured several collisions and barbs in the media, a Verstappen-Hamilton line-up would be mouth-watering for the sport. But Horner says it wouldn\u2019t be right for Red Bull and their dynamic of having a clear number one driver.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can't see Max and Lewis working out together,\u201d he said. \u201cThe dynamic wouldn't be right. We are 100% happy with what we have.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following a tough season for Sergio Perez, there are question marks over Red Bull\u2019s second seat. After clinching second in the championship behind Verstappen, the Mexican is set to retain his place for 2024. Beyond that though, the seat is very much up for grabs.<\/p>\n
