Christian Horner's Future in F1
Christian Horner, the former Red Bull team principal, is planning his return to the paddock in 2026.
Horner was relieved of his duties at Red Bull in September, with the team paying him £80m to terminate his contract, which ran until 2030.
- Alpine are not interested in Horner, despite his close relationship with Flavio Briatore.
- Aston Martin are also not considering a move for Horner, who wants a stake in his next team.
Horner may consider setting up his own F1 team, as the sport allows for 12 teams on the grid.
Several teams have already shut the door on Horner.
