Christian Horner talks ‘underway’ over F1 team purchase – and it’s NOT Alpine
Christian Horner, known for his success with Red Bull, is rumored to be in discussions with another F1 team for a comeback. Despite being let go by Red Bull last year, Horner’s reputation as a prominent team principal has kept speculation alive about his return to the sport. Reports suggest he is considering a potential investment in Alpine or Aston Martin, with recent news indicating the latter as a more likely option. If Horner joins Aston Martin, he could potentially partner with American investors and take over a share previously held by Otro Capital. However, any such deal would have to wait until September 2026 due to certain stipulations. The possibility of Horner reuniting with Adrian Newey at Aston Martin has garnered attention in the F1 community, prompting further discussions about his potential return to the paddock.
