Overview
- European outlets report Horner is negotiating with investor partners to acquire roughly 24% of Alpine, a stake currently linked to Otro Capital, for about €760–763 million.
- The reported deal would place Horner in a high-ranking leadership position inside the F1 team’s structure.
- Auto Motor und Sport reports Horner’s arrival could make Flavio Briatore’s continued role as sporting advisor unlikely.
- The prospective leadership reset is seen as consequential for Franco Colapinto’s internal support after his confirmation alongside Pierre Gasly.
- The talks follow a poor 2025 campaign and renewed sale speculation, and none of the parties has issued formal confirmation.
