<\/p>\nHaas team principal Ayao Komatsu has revealed that former Red Bull Formula 1 boss Christian Horner had sounded out the American squad over a potential role, but exploratory talks have gone nowhere.<\/p>\n
Horner’s 20-year-stint as Red Bull’s F1 boss came to an end when he was ousted after July’s British Grand Prix, with the 51-year-old since agreeing eye-watering severance terms with his former employer that would leave him free to pursue a new role in F1.<\/p>\n
As Horner weighs up his options, which will likely require him to exert a significant amount of control over any organisation, he has been linked with a variety of teams, including the suggestion that he could be on his way to the Haas outfit.<\/p>\n
Ahead of this weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix, Haas team boss Komatsu revealed that it was Horner himself who had approached Haas over a potential role with the squad, but Komatsu was adamant those talks had gone nowhere.<\/p>\n
“Yeah, it is true that he approached us. And then one of our guys had an exploratory talk. And that’s it. Nothing has gone any further. It is finished,” Komatsu said.<\/p>\n

When presser further, he replied: “I’ve got nothing more to say. Like I said, you write whatever you want. I’m not fuelling that story.”<\/p>\n
