A reunion between a pair of F1 legends who claimed eight drivers’ championships and six constructors’ championships at Red Bull. Seems ideal, right?
Following the Las Vegas Grand Prix, a report suggested Aston Martin might replace Andy Cowell with Christian Horner as team principal in 2026. Aston Martin responded by focusing on current performance and not engaging in rumors. Horner, previously axed from Red Bull, is reportedly seeking a return to the sport.
Aston Martin design legend Adrian Newey, now with the team, aims to elevate the outfit for the 2026 regulations. Rumors of potential fallout between Horner and Newey have surfaced, along with disagreements with the current team principal, adding complexity to the situation.
Despite potential conflicts, the idea of reuniting Newey and Horner for success at Aston Martin remains appealing. The team owner, Lawrence Stroll, seeks success and understands the value of collaboration between F1’s top minds. The dream team scenario hinges on Newey and Horner reconciling and potentially even signing Max Verstappen for the 2027 season.
