Martin Brundle believes Christian Horner will be thinking about a potential move into MotoGP after his axing as Red Bull team principal and CEO.<\/p>\n

Speculation over Horner’s future has been rife since his full departure from Red Bull<\/a> was confirmed last month, with several teams revealing contact had been made ,including Aston Martin and Haas, though there were no steps forward of note.<\/p>\n

Horner has also been linked to a shot at getting a 12th team on the grid in the coming years in a bid to emulate the feat he achieved when building the Red Bull operation from the ground up when the energy drinks manufacturer joined in place of Jaguar for the 2005 season.<\/p>\n

But speaking on Sky Sports News [UK], former F1 driver turned pundit Brundle suggested that the incumbent teams would try to block that route back to the sport, explaining: \u201cI think the current teams in F1 will be pushing hard, as will other stakeholders, to say they don\u2019t want a 12th team at the moment while they\u2019re all jockeying around trying to sort out the 2026 regulations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt might be an extra hurdle for Christian. But F1 is his life. It\u2019s where his skills and experiences lie.\u201d<\/p>\n

It has been reported that Horner is seeking a stakeholding in any potential landing spot, something that Brundle has confirmed.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe made it absolutely clear to me when I spoke to him that he will only come back if he\u2019s got a skin in the game, if he\u2019s got a share of the team and is building something, rather than being a manager as he was with Red Bull,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe couldn\u2019t get any shareholding in that. Toto Wolff is a good example of how to do that as a one-third shareholder in Mercedes. I\u2019m not surprised Christian is knocking on doors, seeing what is available out there. There are not many available doors to knock on, in that respect.”<\/p>\n

But Brundle provided another route back into motorsport for Horner in the form of MotoGP. The premier motorcycle racing series has recently been taken over by Liberty Media, which controls F1 as well, and has seen former Haas team principal Guenther Steiner lead a takeover of the Tech 3 squad.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure he\u2019ll be thinking about MotoGP as well,\u201d insisted Brundle. \u201cThat\u2019s just been taken over by the same people who own F1, and it will grow. But I imagine his focus will remain on F1 to see where he can get back in.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure there will be partners, sponsors and other people who might want to join Christian on that journey.\u201d<\/p>\n
