What Christian Horner is wanting from a return to F1 has been revealed.
Christian Horner is aiming to secure a stake in an F1 team, with reports suggesting he may have agreed to a severance package worth up to £80m with Red Bull, allowing him to make a comeback to F1 by the summer of 2026. The 51-year-old Briton, who was let go from his position as Red Bull team principal after 20 years, is keen on returning to the sport, possibly with teams like Aston Martin, Alpine, or Haas. Horner is interested in an investment buy-in role rather than a management position, as confirmed by Sky Sports News reporter Craig Slater. Speculations are rife that Horner might even consider starting his own F1 team to have more control over his F1 destiny and business prospects in the sport. His focus currently lies on establishing strong commercial partnerships to position himself as a significant player in F1, not just as an employee.
