F1 sack rumours pave the way for dramatic Christian Horner return
Christian Horner, cleared of past allegations, is a leading candidate for Aston Martin leadership amid internal disputes and a possible team principal change, after a £52 million Red Bull payoff.
- Recently, Christian Horner has emerged as a candidate to take a leadership role at Aston Martin's Formula 1 team as the team considers moving on from Andy Cowell.
- Following his exit from Red Bull, Horner received a £52 million pay off and recently agreed a $100 million settlement, freeing him to return to Formula 1.
- Ferrari's contract decision removed a rival for Horner after extending Fred Vasseur, while Adrian Newey's past split with Horner has eased despite reported disagreements with Cowell at Aston Martin.
- The team has compiled a shortlist that includes Christian Horner, Andreas Seidl, and Mattia Binotto as Cowell is likely reassigned to oversee Aston Martin's power unit project amid the Honda engine partnership.
- ESPN notes Horner would likely return with financial backing rather than a traditional role, with his past partnership with Adrian Newey at Red Bull and Lawrence Stroll's aim to recruit Max Verstappen adding strategic complexity.
