<\/a><\/p>\nChristian Horner, Miami GP 2025
\u00a9 Red Bull<\/p>\n
Speaking at the European Motor Show in Dublin, Horner admitted he feels his F1 story is not complete.<\/p>\n
I feel like I have unfinished business in Formula 1, he said. “It didn’t finish the way that I would have liked it to finish.<\/p>\n
But I am not going to come back for just anything. I am only going to come back for something that can win.<\/p>\n
Horner stressed that he has no interest in a symbolic or advisory role.<\/p>\n
I don’t want to go back in the paddock unless I have something to do, he said. I would want to be a partner, rather than just a hired hand.<\/p>\n
The 52-year-old reflected on his long tenure at Red Bull, where he led the team for more than two decades.<\/p>\n
I had 21 incredible years in Formula 1, Horner said. “I had a great run, won a lot of races, championships and worked with some amazing drivers, engineers and partners.<\/p>\n
I don’t need to go back. I could stop my career now. So I would only go back for the right opportunity.<\/p>\n
Horner also addressed the wave of speculation linking him to multiple teams since his exit.<\/p>\n
This is the first time I have actually spoken to anyone since leaving Red Bull, he said. “In the media, I think I have been going to every single team – from the back of the grid, to the middle, and to the front.<\/p>\n
There just seems to be an appetite about what I’m going to do and where I’m going to go. It’s very flattering.<\/p>\n
However, he played down the prospect of any immediate move.<\/p>\n
The reality is that until the spring I can’t do anything anyway, Horner said. I’m not in a rush. I don’t need to do anything.<\/p>\n
Horner has recently been strongly linked with a move to Alpine, where Otro Capital holds a 24 percent stake alongside majority owner Renault. He has also been linked to wider strategic discussions within the sport after meeting FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem in Paris last week.<\/p>\n
For now, Horner insists patience will guide his next step.<\/p>\n
I would only go back for the right opportunity, he said. We’ll see how it plays out.<\/p>\n
