Kimi is straightforward (like Seb said) and says:
Seb, I don’t want to come to Red Bull. I just don’t like Red Bull. Take Fernando.

Red bull decided to give the 2 a “get to know eachother” afternoon before making any decision. The 2 spent the time in total silence, just staring at eachother. Kimi afterwards commented it was his best date ever.
