Horner is in no hurry
“Christian is still in a difficult position, wherever he goes, if he is not successful, people will say ‘see, he was only great when he was at Red Bull and had huge budgets available’ and things like that. So it’s difficult for him. I talk to him quite often and at first I was trying to convince him to try to join Ferrari. Where will he end up? I have no idea“. Just today we reported these words from Bernie Ecclestone about the future of Christian Horner.
Almost a year ago the British manager was fired from his role as Red Bull team principal, receiving a severance package of 80 million pounds. Since then, there have been several rumors about how Horner would return to F1, whether as a shareholder of Alpine, or with a twelfth team as ‘helmsman’ of a possible project linked to the Chinese giant BYD.
One of the most logical hypotheses, however, has always been to become the team principal of Aston Martin, where he would reunite with Adrian Newey, also relieving him of the burden and honor of this role.
According to the Daily Mail, Lawrence Stroll has come back after being very close to finalizing the deal with Horner a few months ago, a negotiation that then fell through at the last moment. Will the very wealthy Canadian have more luck this time? Also today are Adrian Newey’s admissions of guilt about Aston Martin’s difficulties, which in Hungary will try to convince Fernando Alonso to stay on in 2027 through the upgrade package planned for Budapest before the summer break.
