Fernando Alonso was also reportedly seeking a seat a Red Bull earlier this year, but opted to re-sign with Aston Martin instead.

Furthermore, the departure of design legend Adrian Newey from Red Bull, and his signing with the Silverstone-based squad would have vindicated Alonso's decision to remain with Aston Martin.

However, on the F1 Beyond the Grid podcast, Alonso recently revealed that in 2008 he engaged in secret talks with Newey and Horner about him potentially joining Red Bull.

"I never regret anything, I know that some decisions in your Formula 1 career can change a lot, what you achieve, what you cannot achieve," Alonso said.

"I think when you take a decision you take it fully committed to that and thinking that it’s the best decision.

"No one has a crystal ball to know what is going to happen in the future. 2008 I think it was at a few moments that are well known that I could join Red Bull, one was when I left McLaren at the end of 2007, after that season in McLaren I find different possibilities.

"I met Adrian [Newey], Christian in Heathrow airport for a meeting."

"A secret meeting," podcast host Tom Clarkson replied, to which Alonso agreed.
