Former Red Bull chief Horner Reportedly Contacting Numerous Formula 1 Team Principals
Former Red Bull team principal Christian Horner is allegedly "ringing up pretty much every team owner" as he seeks a return to grand prix racing, as stated by Aston Martin top executive Andy Cowell.
The British racing team is one of the squads that are associated with the ex-boss.
The Aston Martin CEO stated he had verified the circumstances with squad proprietor Lawrence Stroll this past Friday at the Marina Bay race.
"It seems like Christian is contacting nearly every team principal at the moment," commented the executive.
"I can unequivocally confirm there are no intentions for the participation of Christian in an leadership or investment capacity in the future."
Further Organizations React
Haas chief Ayao Komatsu revealed that the ex-chief had "contacted" the American squad but continued: "Nothing has gone any further. It's over."
The Renault-owned team managing director Steve Nielsen revealed the organization's advisor and de facto boss Flavio Briatore was "long-standing acquaintances" with the ex-boss.
The Alpine director continued: "I'm unaware what they talk about. What I understand is there are no plans for Christian to arrive at Alpine but this doesn't imply it couldn't occur."
The Grove-based squad team principal James Vowles stated that Horner had not contacted them.
"We're quite satisfied with the organization we have and it's functioning," Vowles said. "I see no justification to change from that."
Background Context
The former team principal is able to come back grand prix racing by the middle of next year after completing a separation agreement with his former team on September 22nd.
The 51-year-old was fired as Red Bull's chief after the British GP in July.
Several informants at Red Bull have suggested the settlement package was estimated at 60 million euros (£52 million).
