Seven-time world champion Hamilton reportedly approached Red Bull regarding a potential move before agreeing a renewed deal with Mercedes earlier this season.<\/p>\n<p>Christian Horner claims that a representative of the British star had contacted him regarding a potential move, which Hamilton denies. Marko has now outlined a reason why Drivers\u2019 Championship winner Verstappen would be reluctant to have Hamilton as his team-mate.<\/p>\n<p>The feud dates back to the British Grand Prix in 2021 when the pair crashed on the entry to a high-speed corner during the opening lap. Verstappen came off worse from the big impact hitting the barriers and was taken to hospital for precautionary tests.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Hamilton overturned a 10-second time penalty to win his home Grand Prix. Marko told OE24 that the incident is the reason the pair can never be team-mates. He said: Verstappen and Hamilton in one team, that doesn&#8217;t work. With Max, what happened in 2021 is too deep-rooted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/73\/590x\/secondary\/Helmut-Marko-5084705.jpg?r=1700907585160\"><\/p>\n<p>Marko also supports Horner\u2019s claim that Hamilton\u2019s representative had reached out to the team. He told F1 Insider: \u201cI can only say that Christian Horner told me in January about a text message he received from Hamilton\u2018s entourage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt seemed authorised by the driver. There was talk of a condition that Hamilton set: he only wanted to drive for Red Bull if he also got the same material [money] as Max Verstappen. For me, at least, there was no doubt that the request from the Hamilton side was serious.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Lewis Hamilton&#8217;s Abu Dhabi GP fear says it all as Max Verstappen miles away[REACTION] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Lewis Hamilton &#8216;hid true feelings&#8217; about F1 rival Christian Horner in interview[QUOTES] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Christian Horner changes tune on Lewis Hamilton as he riles up Toto Wolff again[ANALYSIS] <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/73\/590x\/secondary\/Lewis-Hamilton-5084732.jpg?r=1700907585282\"><\/p>\n<p>There has been some doubt over the future of Red Bull\u2019s second driver Sergio Perez as he struggled to match Verstappen\u2019s resulted in the mid-season.
