The Red Bull chief Christian Horner said, that Liberty Media did approach the team about signing the McLaren's driver.
"There was just an enquiry [from Liberty] as to whether we would consider Fernando,"
"Which you can understand from a promoter's point of view: Fernando Alonso is a great asset to Formula One; if he could be in a competitive car I'm sure they would prefer him staying than pursuing his triple crown. I wouldn't expect them to do anything different."
