Horner to Aston Martin: Relationship with Newey is NOT an Obstacle, F1 Rumors

Christian Horner, heading to Aston Martin?

The world of Formula 1 could witness a significant change. Christian Horner, current team principal of Red Bull, is reportedly being eyed by Aston Martin to take on a leadership role in the team. Aston Martin is reportedly considering a change in its management structure, which would open the door for Horner’s arrival. Currently, the team is in a moment of transformation, seeking to establish itself as a championship contender under the new Formula 1 regulations. Lawrence Stroll, Aston Martin’s owner, has a clear ambition: to make his team a champion. This is reflected in the hiring of key figures and the construction of state-of-the-art facilities.

In addition to Horner, other names such as Andreas Seidl and Mattia Binotto would also be on the list of candidates to lead the team. Horner recently reached an agreement with Red Bull, which would allow him to return to Formula 1 in early 2026. It is speculated that his return could be linked to a financial investment in the team. A possible move to Aston Martin would mean Horner’s reunification with Adrian Newey, who left Red Bull in 2023 to join Aston Martin as technical director. The relationship between Horner and Max Verstappen’s father, Jos, could be a factor to consider. Although the relationship between Horner and the four-time world champion is good.
