Lewis Hamilton may also be considering a switch to Ferrari, as the speculation about the 2008 world champion’s future rolls on.<\/p>\n
Widespread reports after the Canadian grand prix said the 26-year-old met with Red Bull’s Christian Horner at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve after qualifying.<\/p>\n
“He was also spotted doing the same with Ferrari boss Stefano Domenicali,” read a report in the British newspaper The Mirror.<\/p>\n
Hamilton is being managed by Simon Fuller’s XIX Entertainment and a spokesman on Tuesday denied the rumours.<\/p>\n
“I can say categorically there are no talks with Red Bull or Ferrari.\u00a0 In fact anyone.<\/p>\n
“If we were to start talks we would go to McLaren first.\u00a0 Lewis is happy at McLaren and still very positive about playing a part in this championship,” added the spokesman.<\/p>\n
It is believed Hamilton personally sought out the Red Bull talks, walking into the team’s circuit offices and asking a member of the catering staff if he knew where Horner was.<\/p>\n
That meeting preceded Hamilton’s latest controversies when he got involved in more collisions in Montreal.<\/p>\n
“He seems to be in a bit of a difficult situation,” Horner is quoted by the German newspaper Welt, whose own headline referred to the Briton as ‘Rambo’.<\/p>\n
“I think he’s trying a bit too hard.\u00a0 Maybe he just needs a bit of time out,” added Horner.<\/p>\n
David Coulthard, who switched to Red Bull after nearly a decade with McLaren, thinks a move away from the British team might also be a good idea for Hamilton.<\/p>\n
“Maybe (it) is something he needs after literally growing up at McLaren over the last decade — drop the emotional baggage which inevitably grows in every relationship,” he wrote in his Telegraph column.<\/p>\n
