Former Red Bull chief Horner Reportedly Reaching Out to Multiple Grand Prix Team Bosses

Ex-Red Bull team principal Christian Horner is apparently "contacting nearly every team principal" as he seeks a return to Formula 1, as stated by the Aston Martin team chief executive officer Andy Cowell.

The Silverstone-based squad is included in the organizations that are connected to the ex-boss.

Cowell revealed he had verified the situation with squad proprietor Lawrence Stroll this past Friday at the Singapore GP.

"It looks as though Christian is getting in touch with most team bosses at the moment," commented Cowell.

"I can unequivocally confirm there are no intentions for the involvement of Christian in an leadership or investment capacity in the future."

Additional Squads React

Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu disclosed that the former Red Bull leader had "reached out to" the US-based team but noted: "No progress has been made. It's over."

The Renault-owned team managing director Steve Nielsen mentioned the organization's advisor and acting leader Flavio Briatore was "longtime companions" with Horner.

The Alpine director continued: "I have no knowledge what they discuss. What I understand is there are no arrangements for Christian to come to Alpine but that doesn't mean it might not transpire."

Williams team principal James Vowles declared that the former Red Bull leader had not contacted them.

"We're quite satisfied with the organization we have and it's working," the team principal said. "I don't see any reason to modify it."

Historical Information

The former team principal is able to come back Formula 1 by the second half of the coming year after finalising a departure deal with Red Bull on September 22nd.

The veteran motorsport figure was let go as the team's leader after the Silverstone race in July.

Multiple sources at the racing team have suggested the financial arrangement was worth 60 million euros (£52 million).
