F1 icon hints at Christian Horner BAN
A former F1 star has suggested that Christian Horner may be banned from returning to the sport as a team principal, at least in the short term, due to a potential clause in his Red Bull contract.
Horner was replaced by Laurent Mekies as the head of the Racing Bulls team after his departure in July.
Despite being linked with various teams, Horner’s comeback could be hindered by contractual obligations from his past role.
Juan Pablo Montoya speculated on the MontoyAS podcast that only a contractual restriction could prevent Horner from returning to F1.
Potential landing spots for Horner, if he chooses to come back, include Alpine and Cadillac, with Aston Martin also emerging recently as a possible destination.
Horner has been maintaining a low profile since leaving his position, with the new opportunities at Alpine and Cadillac or potentially at Aston Martin keeping his future uncertain within the F1 landscape.
