Ski Sports News The Horner understands the period of the garden departure by the end of this year, so the return F1 will only happen only in January 2026. years.

In the emotional speech of the Red Bull staff in Milton Keines Thursday, the 51 year old said he would spend time with his family and stated “Who knows what the future leads me for me?”.

Trying to come to F1 as a driver, Horner became a team boss in 25 years in 1999. in F3000 – which is the current equivalent of Formula 2.

After success in F3000, Horner was chosen as director of Red Bull, when they joined the Gridi in 2005. year, becoming the youngest ever team principal in F1 aged 31, and made a team that was branded at multiple championship winners.

Motor races is in his blood and its success in Red Bull will certainly make it a candidate for most teams in F1.

Horner will replace Vassur in Ferrari?

During the last two months, German and Italian media reports demanded that the position of Frederic Vassura was as the director of the team in Ferrari was under threat.

Vassur hit Italian places and said that he could deal with the situation, but he suggested “disrespecting” and “very sharp” speculation over others who are destabilizing the team under him in Ferrari.

In May, German publication Bird He said Ferrari “informal” contact with Horner, who rejected the report.

“It’s always very flattering to be connected to other teams,” he said Ski Sports F1 At the end of May.

“My whole career was spent with Red Bull and I’m absolutely dedicated to this team. These days are so much rumors and speculation, it’s not even worth listening.”

Now Horner has time to be Ferrari as a option if Vassur comes under increasing pressure, but Ski Sports F1Karun Chandhok thinks Horner is likely to join the most famous team F1

“These rumors of Ferrari appear continuously over the last decade,” he said F1 show Podcast.

“I think the combination of Christians and Adrian and Ferrari was a much more attractive package for Ferrari. I could see him land in Alpine more than I could see him in Ferrari now.

“I think Ferrari will try to build his thing. And a lot of other factors are entered, at this stage Christian’s career and life wants to use everything?”

Ski Sports F1Ted Kravitz also gave a decree that Lewis Hamilton, having a Ferrari contract until the end of 2026. years, he would probably not be impressed if Horner replaced Vaseura, whom he strongly supported.

“There was a lot of water under that bridge at a particular link between Lewis Hamilton and Christian Horner,” Kravitz said.

“You never know, you have to work with everyone in this job, but I’m not sure if Lewis was so noisy in the last month or it would be happy that he was happy to lose Vassur and replaced Christian Horner.

“They are not very constant dates dinners, isn’t it? I’m not sure it would work and John Elkann (Ferrari presiding) to think about it.

“Charles Leclerc has no history with Christian Horner, but Lewis is a little. Maybe it’s something to consider.”

Alpine most likely destination?

Since Oliver Oakes left Alpine as the director of the Team in May for personal reasons, enterone-based suits saw a lot of change and Horner would certainly provide a much needed clear figure.

Alpine appointed an experienced sports director Steve Nielsen as their manager from September Italian Grand Prima to monitor the daily conduct of the team.

Although Dave Greenwood took the formal duties of Oakes, Flavio Briatore is the principal director of the team, but seemingly wants to be advisor, leaving the main role of the team.

“Alpine is another British team, flavio is there, with that like a row of bull,” Kravitz said.

“In fact, most Enson and Milton Keines somehow joined each other. Many people in Ensone are former red bull and vice versa. It would be a much easier place for Horner to go.

“I think Ferrari is an option, as it could be, especially a few months ago, knowing what happens,” Oh, maybe I’d already have done Ferrari. And if Alpine is an option. ” And that the Alpine option is. “And if Alpine is an option.” And that the Alpine option is. “And if Alpine is an option.” And if it was Alpine. And is the Alpine option. “And if Alpine is an option.” And that the Alpine option is. “And if Alpine is an option.” And if it was Alpine. And is the Alpine option. “And if Alpine is an option.” And if it was Alpine. And is it an ever better way to make it Ferrari.

One drawback could be a Horner’s tense connection with what was renault during the early years of the Turbo-hybrid era between 2014 and 2018. years.

Red Bull Ranult Power Units, but the engine often let them down with several questions that ends the races and a clear performance deficit Ferrari and Mercedes, at the end that led to the ending and Red Bull partners with Honda.

However, much changed in Renault, which was now called Alpine, and the team would be the most natural fit to Chandhok.

“From here, he lives, in the Enteron’s path, is the same as a trip to Milton Keines, so I see that it is more likely to destination,” he said.

“He and the Bernie Ecclestone flaved and the Bernie brought Christian to F1 when Red Bull bought the team. He was instrumental in a Christian in 2005. Bio in 2005. years.

“Flavio does not want to be a team principal. He does not want to cross the day. He has a director of Steve, but I can imagine a few wheels that turn in the background to at least he has a role.”

What are the Horner’s other options?

There is a zero chance of Horner would eventually McLaren or Mercedes, Williams just signed James Vowlova in a long-term agreement, and former Red Bull Sporting Director Jonathan Wheatley made a great start of life in Sauber.

It leaves Haasa, which may not be attractive enough for Horner, and Aston Martin as options. The latter would see Horner to gather together with the legendary designer with Adrina Nevei.

Aston Martin The owner of Lawrence Stroll has ambitions to conquer world titles, so he could make a decision on shock that Horner would do business based on Silverstone? Andy Cowell became just the director of the team at the beginning of this year, so that it would be sharply removed in that role before new regulations in 2026. years when Aston Martin could become frontowner.

Ski Sports F1Martin Brunddle thinks Horner wanted a share in the F1 team, but he thinks sports changes with more technical people becomes the main team.

“Maverick Talisman or the leaders of the team we saw changed. James Wowles led Williams, Jonathan Wheatley was in Sauber, Andrea Stella at McLaren,” Brunnle explained.

“Now we see people with a huge amount of various experiences now. Maybe the total commercial management and leaders of marketing and sponsorships are different. It is too big for one person.

“(Instead) people who know nuts and bolts as the formula 1 team consists, as it travels, how it works, how it works and how it works in the best (are main).”

Horner could also look outside the team role following the steps of the former Ferrari Chief Jean Todt and Stefano Domenica who took responsibility for FIA and F1.

Whatever chooses to do, it is over that Horner will return to F1 in some capacity …
