McLaren’s Zak Brown gives his take on a possible Christian Horner F1 return.
McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown would welcome former Red Bull team principal Christian Horner back to Formula 1. Horner has been linked with a potential F1 comeback since his departure from Red Bull last July after 20 years leading the team. Currently, Horner is part of a group interested in purchasing a minority stake in the Alpine F1 team and has been associated with other teams like Aston Martin. Despite past disagreements and controversies between them, Brown now seems open to the idea of Horner returning to the F1 paddock due to his charismatic personality and proven skills.
Brown expressed his respect for Horner’s track record and the value of strong personalities in the sport, but also acknowledged the emergence of new talents. He mentioned that it would be positive to see Horner back in F1 given his passion and experience. However, Mercedes boss Toto Wolff suggested that Horner’s return might be challenging due to past controversies, including allegations of sexual misconduct during his time at Red Bull, which Horner has consistently denied.
