Overview

  • Speaking in Dublin, Horner made his first public comments since leaving Red Bull, saying he has "unfinished business" in Formula 1.
  • He said he would only re-enter with a project capable of winning and that he wants a partner or equity role rather than a hired-hand position.
  • He confirmed contractual restrictions prevent him from taking any role until the northern-hemisphere spring.
  • Alpine said a group of investors that includes Horner has expressed interest in acquiring Otro Capital’s 24% stake in the team.
  • Flavio Briatore has acknowledged talks about a minority stake, with reports that Horner also met FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem in Paris.
