Aston Martin keep the door open for Christian Horner F1 return
Aston Martin has discussed the potential of hiring former Red Bull chief Christian Horner. Horner’s departure from Red Bull in July marked the conclusion of his two-decade stint with the team. He officially exited Red Bull on September 22 and might make a comeback to the F1 circuit next year. As one of F1’s most prosperous team principals, Horner oversaw Red Bull’s victory of eight drivers’ titles and six constructors’ championships. While Horner’s impressive track record is undeniable, the possibility of him joining another F1 team remains uncertain, given his reported desire for substantial authority akin to Toto Wolff’s role at Mercedes. Aston Martin’s current team principal Andy Cowell has not ruled out the prospect of Horner joining the team, emphasizing that the decision ultimately rests with Horner. Horner’s realistic options could also include Haas or Alpine, depending on various factors such as team ownership dynamics and organizational structure. Horner’s next career move remains a topic of keen interest within the F1 community, waiting for his decision regarding his future involvement in the sport.
