Former Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has emerged as one of the contenders for a Formula 1 return with Aston Martin as a replacement for its current boss Andy Cowell
Former Red Bull team principal Christian Horner is being considered for a Formula 1 return with Aston Martin to potentially replace Andy Cowell.
Horner’s name is in the mix alongside Andreas Seidl and Mattia Binotto for a key management position at Aston Martin, with Cowell likely to shift focus to the power unit division.
Cowell, who recently joined Aston Martin, is expected to take on a new role within the organization as it gears up for a partnership with Honda.
As Aston Martin undergoes changes in its operations under Adrian Newey, differences with Cowell have led to the decision for him to step away from the team principal role.
Aston Martin owner Lawrence Stroll is still evaluating options for the team boss position, but a decision is yet to be finalized.
Horner, who left Red Bull earlier this year, could potentially make his F1 return as early as 2026.
