Horner’s F1 return gains momentum
Christian Horner’s potential return to Formula 1 is gathering pace following fresh reports linking him with talks involving a former McLaren investor.
The former Red Bull Racing team principal, who has made no secret of his desire to return to F1, has reportedly held talks with MSP Sports Capital, which only last summer sold its stake in the McLaren team.

According to a report via Sky Sports, the American equity firm is backing Horner’s potential offer for Otro Capital’s 24% stake in the Alpine F1 outfit.
The 52-year-old was axed from the Red Bull team amid a run of underwhelming results and several off-track skirmishes.

Both drivers, who continue to spearhead the Cadillac F1 project, will now shift their focus to the upcoming round of pre-season testing, set to take place between February 11 and 13 at the circuit in Bahrain.
