Christian Horner and Red Bull have now parted ways – but will it be some time before we see Christian back in F1?
Following his departure from Red Bull, Christian Horner has been linked to potential moves to Ferrari, Alpine, and Cadillac, among others, with Alpine and Cadillac being viewed as less likely options. His reported €60 million exit package and nine-month gardening leave period suggest he could return to work early in 2026. After serving 20 successful years as the leader of the Milton Keynes-based team, Horner’s sudden exit prompted shockwaves throughout Formula 1. Despite his efforts to acquire shares like Toto Wolff at Mercedes, the current landscape offers few opportunities for co-ownership in another team. The possibility of Horner accepting a non-ownership role or exploring new ventures like Haas or MotoGP remains uncertain, highlighting the challenges he may face in rejoining the sport in a significant capacity.
