ABU DHABI (Reuters) - Red Bull team boss Christian Horner named Lewis Hamilton's father Anthony on Friday as the person who contacted him earlier in the season about a possible switch to the Formula One champions.

Horner added that there had been no serious discussions and there was in any case no seat available alongside triple champion Max Verstappen.
