Lewis Hamilton has broken his silence on Christian Horner's Red Bull departure amid speculation linking him to Ferrari. After two decades at Red Bull, Horner was sacked as team principal earlier this month, marking the end of a dominant era in Formula 1.

LEWIS HAMILTON delivered a brutal, blunt response to Christian Horner’s sacking. The seven-time world champion shrugged off the news in today’s press conference ahead of the Belgium Grand Prix.

French engineer Mekies, previously team principal at Red Bull ’s sister F1 team Racing Bulls, has taken over from Horner and is at the helm this weekend for the Belgian Grand Prix. Mekies previously enjoyed a near-decade stint at Toro Rosso, the old name for Red Bull’s sister team, and also has experience to his name at Ferrari and the FIA.
