Christian Horner was spotted in the hospitality of Williams on Friday. Was this to discuss the potential signing of Franco Colapinto, or did this visit have another reason? James Vowles responded to that question.

It is no secret that Red Bull is interested in Colapinto. The Argentine has only completed five races in Formula 1 but he has left an exceptional impression so far. For instance, in Austin, Horner said he would be a bad team boss if he did not think about whether it was possible to sign Colapinto.

It was striking that Horner was spotted in Williams' hospitality on Friday, a week after his statements about Colapinto. So the question is: Why was the Red Bull Racing team boss visiting Williams?

Vowles replied: "We've recently signed a new coffee sponsor, which is Reviver from Gulf, and he really wanted to try it. That was a good part of the conversation. He enjoyed it."
