Overview
- Transworld Publishing confirmed on July 4 that Horner will publish his first memoir, Drive, on 22 October with an audiobook narrated by him.
- Horner made his first Formula 1 paddock appearance since his departure at Silverstone on Sunday as an official guest and spoke to Sky Sports on arrival.
- He said he has "unfinished business" in F1 and will consider only projects that offer a realistic chance to win, but he has not finalised any role or purchase.
- FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem publicly said he expects Horner to return and Horner has maintained contacts with F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali while being linked in media reports to Alpine, Aston Martin, Ferrari and a BYD-backed new entry.
- Horner left Red Bull after a 20-year run that delivered eight drivers' titles and six constructors' crowns, negotiated a substantial exit settlement and was twice cleared by independent counsel, and his memoir is widely seen as a reputational reset that could affect potential bids and investor interest.
