Christian Horner has revealed he is not eager to return to Formula 1 and may never work in the sport again. The former Red Bull Racing CEO and team principal, who was dismissed in July 2025 after 20 years at the helm, made his remarks at the Autosport Business Exchange in New York. Horner emphasized that any return would have to be a significant undertaking.
He appeared at the event for the first time since leaving Oracle Red Bull Racing, alongside figures such as NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson and former F1 chief Chase Carey. Horner stated that he is content with his current role, observing from the sidelines and appreciating the sacrifices of Formula 1. He would only consider a return to the paddock if it involved ambitious objectives, supportive teammates, and a genuine pursuit of victory.
