Brundle says Horner won’t be team principal again
Sky Sports F1 expert Martin Brundle believes that Christian Horner may not return to Formula 1 as a team principal, due to the changing landscape of the sport and the emergence of a new type of team principal.
Horner, who was ousted from his long-standing position at Red Bull Racing, has reportedly expressed interest in potentially joining another team but in a different capacity, possibly with an ownership stake.
Brundle has praised Horner’s replacement, Laurent Mekies, commending his handling of the team and highlighting a shift towards team principals with more of an engineering background to manage complex dynamics within the team.
Horner’s future in F1 remains uncertain, with any potential return dependent on his gardening leave ending in April 2026 and his desire for a different role within a team.
