Martin Brundle reveals why Christian Horner “wouldn’t want to come back as a team principal” in F1.
Former F1 driver and Sky Sports commentator Martin Brundle explained why Christian Horner would not want to return as a team principal, given his engineering-led approach to managing Red Bull and the success under Laurent Mekies’ leadership. Horner was removed as Red Bull CEO and team principal after 20 years at the helm, being replaced by Mekies, who has seen significant improvements in the team’s performance. With Max Verstappen’s strong results and Mekies’ mature management style, Brundle believes Horner may not be eager to return as a team principal due to the changing dynamics in Formula 1. Speculation surrounds Horner’s next move in F1, with potential links to teams like Ferrari, Aston Martin, Haas, and Alpine, as he seeks a shareholding and a more hands-on role in a team. Brundle hinted at potential hurdles for Horner’s return, emphasizing the importance of having a stake in the team’s future rather than just a managerial position.
