Ex-Red Bull boss Horner Reportedly Reaching Out to Numerous Formula 1 Team Principals
Former Red Bull team principal Christian Horner is allegedly "getting in touch with most team bosses" as he seeks a return to Formula 1, per Aston Martin F1 chief executive officer Andy Cowell.
The British racing team is included in the squads that are connected to the ex-boss.
The Aston Martin CEO revealed he had verified the circumstances with team principal Lawrence Stroll this past Friday at the Singapore GP.
"It appears that Christian is contacting nearly every team principal at the moment," stated Cowell.
"I can definitively state there are no arrangements for the involvement of Christian in an operational or investment role in the future."
Additional Squads React
Haas boss Ayao Komatsu disclosed that the ex-chief had "reached out to" the US-based team but added: "No progress has been made. The matter is closed."
The Renault-owned team top official Steve Nielsen revealed the squad's senior consultant and unofficial chief Flavio Briatore was "old friends" with the former principal.
The Alpine director commented: "I have no knowledge what they talk about. What I understand is there are no intentions for Christian to join Alpine but that doesn't mean it couldn't occur."
The Grove-based squad boss James Vowles declared that the former Red Bull leader had not reached out to them.
"We're very happy with the setup we have and it's effective," the Williams boss said. "There's no cause to alter this."
Historical Information
The ex-Red Bull chief is free to return Formula 1 by the middle of next year after concluding a separation agreement with his former team on September 22nd.
The veteran motorsport figure was let go as Red Bull team principal after the British GP in the month of July.
Several informants at the racing team have revealed the agreement deal was estimated at 60m euros (£52m).
