Christian Horner lands ‘premium’ new job as F1 rumours grow
Christian Horner has been appointed as a special advisor on “investments in premium sports” for a top private equity investor, Oakley Capital, where he will be lending his expertise. The Oakley portfolio already includes investments in sports such as sailing’s Athena Racing, now competition for the America’s Cup, and various padel and golf brands. Horner expressed his excitement for the opportunity, citing the global growth in sports involvement and audiences. Peter Dubens, founder of Oakley, highlighted Horner’s successful track record and commercial skills as key assets for expanding their sports portfolio. Despite this new venture, Horner is actively exploring a return to Formula 1, with discussions ongoing for potential team ownership shares. RacingNews365 reported on his recent talks with BYD and his interest in acquiring a stake in Alpine through a consortium he has assembled.
