Previous Red Bull<\/a> team principal Christian Horner<\/a> has been linked with a shock re-entrance into the Formula 1<\/a> paddock, just six races after he was sacked by his longtime team.<\/p>\n

Members of the paddock are claiming that Horner has been on the fringe looking for a team to bring him back and that he may have found his partner in the sport’s mainstay icon, Ferrari<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the Singapore Grand Prix<\/a>, Aston Martin team principal Andy Cowell joked that he was one of many being reached out to.<\/p>\n

“It looks as though Christian is ringing up every team owner at the moment,” said Cowell.<\/p>\n

Talks between Horner and several teams were confirmed at the most recent F1 race, but four outfits – Haas, Williams, Aston Martin and Alpine – shot down rumours of him joining them.<\/p>\n

Horner was sacked after the British Grand Prix<\/a> and offered an AUD $163.7 million severance package from the Milton Keynes team.<\/p>\n

The 51-year-old led the Red Bull garage for two decades and took them to 124 grand prix victories with eight drivers’ championships, four each for Verstappen and Sebastian Vettel<\/a>, and six constructors’ championships.<\/p>\n

Before his public denouncement from Red Bull, rumours already linked the British team principal to Ferrari, Horner denying only a month before his exit that he spoke to Ferrari chairman John Elkann. <\/p>\n

Ferrari is struggling under the leadership of Fred Vasseur, the team desperately looking for an inkling of pace as they sit third in the standings.<\/p>\n

According to the Daily Mail, several sources say that Horner is being “wooed” by the Scuderia. <\/p>\n

In the 2025 season, Ferrari has only scored five podiums with driver Charles Leclerc<\/a> and a sprint victory in China with Lewis Hamilton<\/a>. They last won a drivers’ championship with Kimi Raikkonen in 2007. <\/p>\n

In a season marred by technical difficulties and lack of performance, Ferrari could look to Horner to turn things around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Previous Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has been linked with a shock re-entrance into the Formula 1…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":211781,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[573],"tags":[64,63,817,813,816,85],"class_list":["post-211780","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-f1","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211780","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=211780"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211780\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/211781"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=211780"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=211780"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=211780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
