Former Red Bull F1 team principal Christian Horner would be able to make a return to the sport as early as next month, according to reports.
Former Red Bull F1 team principal Christian Horner may make a comeback to the sport next month, as per reports indicating a possibility of his return. Horner’s departure from Red Bull last season marked the conclusion of a successful 20-year tenure that included eight drivers’ championships and six constructors’ titles. Following his exit, Laurent Mekies took over the reins at Red Bull, tasked with rebuilding the team amid various departures in recent years. Despite being linked to roles at Alpine, Haas, and Aston Martin, Horner has yet to secure a new position in F1 since leaving Red Bull. Reports suggest that a negotiated gardening leave may allow him to join another team around the time of the Canadian Grand Prix in May, although Horner is reportedly not planning an imminent return to the F1 paddock.In addition, Horner’s potential move to other racing series, such as MotoGP, has been speculated, as he was recently seen at a race in Jerez following an invitation from Liberty Media, who hold rights for both F1 and MotoGP. With former F1 team principal Guenther Steiner transitioning to team ownership in MotoGP, there are rumors of a similar role being considered for Horner if his F1 return does not materialize.
