Ex-Red Bull boss Horner Allegedly Contacting Various Formula 1 Team Principals
Former Red Bull team boss Christian Horner is allegedly "ringing up pretty much every team owner" as he attempts a re-entry to F1, per Aston Martin chief executive officer Andy Cowell.
Aston Martin is included in the organizations that have been linked with the ex-boss.
The Aston Martin CEO mentioned he had confirmed the circumstances with team principal Lawrence Stroll on Friday at the Marina Bay race.
"It seems like Christian is contacting nearly every team principal at the moment," stated Cowell.
"I can unequivocally confirm there are no arrangements for the participation of Christian in an management or financial position in the future."
Additional Squads Respond
The American team chief Ayao Komatsu revealed that the former Red Bull leader had "reached out to" the American squad but continued: "No progress has been made. It is finished."
Alpine top official Steve Nielsen revealed the team's executive adviser and de facto boss Flavio Briatore was "old friends" with Horner.
The team official added: "I'm unaware what they converse about. What I understand is there are no plans for Christian to arrive at Alpine but that isn't to say it couldn't occur."
The historic British team team principal James Vowles stated that the former Red Bull leader had not approached them.
"We're quite satisfied with the setup we have and it's effective," Vowles said. "I see no justification to modify it."
Previous Developments
The former team principal is free to return grand prix racing by the second half of the coming year after finalising a departure deal with his former team on September 22nd.
The fifty-one-year-old was fired as Red Bull team principal after the Silverstone race in summer.
Multiple sources at the organization have indicated the agreement deal was valued at 60 million euros (52 million pounds).
