The new Cadillac F1 team strongly denied reports it was considering hiring fired Red Bull team principal Christian Horner<\/a> to become part of what will be the 11th team on the Formula 1 grid next season.<\/p>\n

Horner was abruptly fired following the British Grand Prix last month with no reason given for his termination. The dismissal ended a 20-year stint that included eight F1<\/a> drivers\u2019 titles and recent turmoil that followed the team on and off the track.<\/p>\n

Recent reports claimed that Horner was going to land at Cadillac, which will debut next season. But Dan Towriss, CEO of the Cadillac Formula 1 team and TWG Motorsports,<\/a> said while announcing his driver lineup of Valtteri Bottas and Sergio P\u00e9rez that he was not hiring Horner. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere have been no talks with Christian Horner. No plans to do that,\u201d Towriss said. \u201cI’d like to officially shut down that rumor.\u201d <\/p>\n

He then praised Graeme Lowdon<\/a>, Cadillac’s current team principal. <\/p>\n

\u201cOur support backing is 100% in Graeme Lowdon,\u201d Towriss said. <\/p>\n

Horner had been Red Bull team principal since it entered F1 as a full constructor in 2005. <\/p>\n

Horner oversaw eight F1 drivers\u2019 titles \u2014 four for Sebastian Vettel and four for Verstappen \u2014 and six constructors\u2019 titles during his time with the team.<\/p>\n

But McLaren has dominated this season in F1, while Red Bull\u2019s performance has dipped, though defending champion Verstappen remains third in the standings and the team is fourth.<\/p>\n
