There 'was' reportedly one driver who did turn down a Red Bull approach...
Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso may have approached Red Bull for a race seat and yet ironically the one driver the team did approach, Lando Norris, turned them down.
Norris said in the press release: “The journey so far has been exciting, we’ve had ups and downs, but last season showed our desire to get back to competing at the front of the grid. But given he reportedly turned down the chance to replace Sergio Perez as the reigning World Champions, Red Bull, it’s unlikely.when one fan on X claimed that Alonso, Leclerc and Norris had all turned down a Red Bull seat within the last 12 months.
“He’s in a team which he’s very comfortable in, a lot of things are built around him, so for anyone – even the Max of a few years ago – to go in against the Max of now is extremely difficult.
