Christian Horner was sacked as Red Bull F1 team principal last year, but appears to be looking for a way back into motorsport now.
Former Red Bull F1 boss Christian Horner has the potential for a return to the sport, as suggested by an F1 insider. Horner led Red Bull to immense success between 2005-2025, securing multiple drivers’ and constructors’ championships. However, he was dismissed from the team last year due to performance issues, resulting in a desire for more of a team ownership role in his next venture. While Horner has been linked to Alpine and Haas, no concrete move has materialized yet, leading to speculations about his possible return to F1. Sky Sports F1 pundit Craig Slater mentioned that while there is enthusiasm for Horner’s comeback among F1 leadership, the complexity lies within the individual team situations. The current Red Bull team, under new leadership, has faced challenges in the 2026 season, triggering discussions about potential restructuring and the need for significant personnel changes.
