Christian Horner departed his role as Red Bull team principal earlier this year – but he is now seeking a return to the grid.
Former F1 driver Martin Brundle revealed that Christian Horner has expressed his terms for a potential return to the F1 grid. Horner’s departure from Red Bull earlier this year marked the conclusion of his successful 20-year tenure as team principal. Known for his accomplishments with Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen, Horner is actively exploring options to make a comeback in F1, including reaching out to teams like Haas and having discussions with Lawrence Stroll of Aston Martin. Brundle believes Horner may face challenges, such as opposition from existing teams, if he pursues the idea of establishing a 12th team in F1. Furthermore, Horner is inclined to return as a shareholder in a team, mirroring the ownership model of Toto Wolff at Mercedes. Brundle also hinted at the possibility of Horner exploring opportunities in MotoGP, considering the recent acquisition of the motorcycle series by the same entity that controls F1.
