    Celebrity body language expert Judi James believes Lewis Hamilton is "hiding his true feelings" about Christian Horner.<\/p>\n

    Red Bull boss Horner has this week claimed they held talks with the seven-time F1 world champion about him becoming Max Verstappen's team-mate. Hamilton has since denied that suggestion.<\/p>\n

    Speaking to Sky Sports ahead of the season-concluding Abu Dhabi Grand Prix this weekend, he accused Horner of "stirring things" – but having analysed the interview, James believes there could be more than Hamilton is letting on.<\/p>\n

    She exclusively told Daily Star Sport<\/b>: <\/b>"Lewis\u2019s body language goes through several different states here. His initial approach looks friendly and open but when the story in the Mail is mentioned his left eye narrows and his head tilts, suggesting a wary, evaluating frame of mind.<\/p>\n

    "When he\u2019s asked about a rep approaching Red Bull his eyes drop in a cut-off gesture that can normally suggest someone is hiding their feelings. <\/p>\n

    "As he looks down his eyes move from one side to the other as though he is formulating the right reply. His shrug looks performed to suggest there is nothing to the rumours or story."<\/p>\n

    Sky reporter Ted Kravitz continued to push the point by asking a follow-up question of Hamilton, who James highlighted as making a couple more telling movements while waiting to answer.<\/p>\n

    "He stands back slightly and splays or puffs his chest as though wanting to move away from the story," she continued. "He also touches his nose in a barrier ritual, again suggesting discomfort.<\/p>\n

    Hamilton was asked why Horner would've been discussing potentially confidential conversations in public, to which he once again reiterated there aren't any.<\/p>\n

    James added: "His final state comes when he says \u2018You know Christian…\u2019 which is where he performs some collusion gestures. His cheeks round in a supressed, knowing smile and he shakes his head to suggest he finds the boss amusing."<\/p>\n

    The interview finished with Hamilton saying he'd welcome the challenge of going toe-to-toe with Verstappen in the same car, but jumping from a struggling Mercedes team wouldn't be the way he'd want to do it.<\/p>\n
