Montoya Urges Ferrari to Consider Christian Horner as Alpine Remains Most Likely Option

Overview

• Motorsport Week reports Horner is in negotiations to buy a minority stake in Alpine, though no sale or appointment has been announced.
• Montoya publicly encouraged Ferrari to explore hiring Horner, cautioning the turnaround would demand two tough years within a four-year plan.
• He argued Alpine would be Horner’s best fit for a comeback, pointing to the team’s UK base and proximity to Red Bull’s operation.
• Horner has been out of F1 since his post–British Grand Prix dismissal from Red Bull after 20 years in charge, with Laurent Mekies now leading the outfit.
• Earlier Ferrari speculation was quickly played down, and Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc voiced support for current team principal Fred Vasseur.
