Previous Red Bull chief Christian Horner is reportedly "contacting nearly every team principal" as he attempts a return to F1, as stated by Aston Martin CEO Andy Cowell.

The Silverstone-based squad is among the organizations that are connected to the former chief.

Cowell revealed he had verified the circumstances with team owner Lawrence Stroll recently at the Singapore GP.

"It seems like Christian is contacting nearly every team principal at the moment," said the CEO.

"I can clearly say there are no intentions for the involvement of Christian in an management or financial position in the future."

Other Teams Comment

Haas boss Ayao Komatsu revealed that Horner had "approached" the American squad but continued: "No progress has been made. The matter is closed."

The Renault-owned team executive director Steve Nielsen stated the team's executive adviser and unofficial chief Flavio Briatore was "long-standing acquaintances" with the former principal.

Nielsen added: "I have no knowledge what they converse about. What I understand is there are no plans for Christian to arrive at Alpine but that doesn't mean it won't happen."

The historic British team chief James Vowles stated that the former Red Bull leader had not approached them.

"We're very happy with the structure we have and it's functioning," the team principal said. "There's no cause to change from that."

Background Context

The ex-Red Bull chief is able to come back grand prix racing by the mid-next season after finalising a departure deal with the energy drink company on the 22nd of September.

The 51-year-old was dismissed as the team's leader after the British GP in summer.

Several informants at the organization have suggested the agreement deal was worth 60 million euros (52 million pounds).
