Alpine Executive Advisor Flavio Briatore coyly ruled out Christian Horner joining its F1 team in the future, saying there are no plans to involve him “for the moment”.
Alpine Executive Advisor Flavio Briatore recently dismissed the possibility of Christian Horner joining its Formula 1 team, stating there are currently no plans to include him.
After being terminated by Red Bull following the British Grand Prix, Horner ended his 20-year stint as Team Principal of the Milton Keynes-based squad.
Despite being F1’s longest-serving team boss until his replacement by Laurent Mekies, Horner’s departure ignited speculations about potential moves to Ferrari or Alpine.
Briatore’s remarks, indicating that Horner is not currently considered for a role at Alpine, hint at a potential future reunion in F1.
However, Briatore’s leadership at Alpine raises questions about the team’s future direction, especially with key figures departing and new partnerships being formed.
While Horner remains out of the F1 scene for now, Briatore expressed hope for his return, leaving a slight possibility open for their paths to cross again in the sport.
