Overview
- Horner reappeared in the Formula 1 paddock at the Silverstone British Grand Prix as a guest after roughly a year away, meeting series chief Stefano Domenicali and FIA president Mohammed bin Sulayem.
- He announced an autobiography titled Drive, with Transworld Publishing set to release it in October and an audiobook narrated by Horner.
- Horner has said he will only return for a project with real chances to win and prefers an owner-CEO role rather than a conventional team boss position.
- He is actively pursuing two commercial routes: talks about buying Otro Capital’s 24 percent stake in Alpine and exploratory meetings with BYD and its vice president Stella Li about creating a new, manufacturer-backed team.
- Horner left Red Bull last year after a power struggle and sporting decline; a reported post-exit work restriction that limited paddock access has expired, clearing the way for renewed negotiations and potential ownership moves.
