Christian Horner targets F1 return after £80m Red Bull dismissal
Former Red Bull principal Christian Horner broke his silence at the European Motor Show in Dublin, declaring "unfinished business" in Formula One. The 52-year-old, who received an £80 million exit package after his July 2025 dismissal, targets a winning return following his 20-year tenure. Despite being exonerated twice regarding inappropriate behavior allegations, Horner was ousted but now eyes investment opportunities, with Alpine reportedly interested. He rejected a larger settlement to enable a potential spring 2026 comeback.
