Christian Horner Sets Conditions for F1 Return as Reports Link Him to Alpine Stake

He left Red Bull in 2025 after two decades at the helm of title-winning teams.

Overview

  • Horner said he feels he has unfinished business in Formula 1 and would only consider a comeback for the right project.
  • He indicated any return would be in a partner role with an ownership stake rather than as a hired executive.
  • Multiple reports tie him to investor interest in Alpine, with Motorsport reporting that minority shareholder Otro Capital is open to selling its 24% stake and has been in contact with him.
  • Horner signaled he is in no rush and may wait to see how the 2026 season unfolds before deciding on a move.
  • No sale or appointment has been announced, while Haas separately confirmed Jack Doohan as its reserve driver for 2026.
