Aston Martin Chief Asserts Christian Horner Is Contacting 'Every F1 Team Principal' Across F1 Regarding a Position

Ex- Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has been engaged in a focused campaign to secure a position to F1, with Aston Martin's chief, Andy Cowell, claiming that Horner was recently in contact with “nearly every team owner”.

Exit Agreement Permit Quick Comeback

Horner was let go by Red Bull in July and his agreement with the team allows him to return in the early part of next year. Aston Martin are seen as a possible option for Horner, who secured 14 titles with Red Bull during his 20 years in charge, but Cowell, who also serves as CEO of the team, stated firmly they were not interested.

“It seems like Christian has been phoning almost every team owner at the moment,” he said at the Singapore GP. “I can clearly say there are no arrangements for the involvement of Christian in an management or financial role in the future.”

Determined Comeback After Rocky Exit

Horner reportedly is eager to come back to the sport. His time at Red Bull concluded after a year and a half of instability that had begun when he was was alleged to have engaged in “inappropriate behaviour” by a staff member. Allegations which he refuted and for which he was found not guilty twice by an external inquiry.

Haas Team Likewise Contacted

Ahead of the Grand Prix in Singapore began, the Haas boss, Ayao Komatsu, additionally stated Horner reached out with his team. “It is accurate that he got in touch,” he said. “One of our team members had an preliminary chat and that was all. Nothing progressed. It has concluded.”

Singapore GP Practice Feature Varied Outcomes

In practice sessions at the Marina Bay circuit, Fernando Alonso topped the timing charts in the initial practice, but in the more representative night running second free practice, McLaren’s Oscar Piastri was quickest.

His title rival Lando Norris, however, struggled to minimal gain under the floodlights. He lost time after taking front wing damage when Charles Leclerc pulled out into the McLaren in the pits, and could only achieve fifth, almost a half a second down on Piastri, making the British driver frustrated at his performance. “The car isn't 0.5 seconds slower, my driving is,” he informed race engineer Will Joseph.
