Andrew McLarneyMotoGP Reporter
Andrew McLarney is a MotoGP reporter for GPBlog. A former karate black belt and two-time national champion by age 17, his early passion for combat sports evolved into a deep interest in UFC and eventually motorsport — with MotoGP becoming his primary focus.
Former F1 team boss Christian Horner has been spotted at this weekend's MotoGP Spanish Grand Prix in Jerez, leading to speculation about whether he might follow Guenther Steiner's involvement with the sport.
The disgraced team principal, who was sacked midway through the 2025 season, previously oversaw Red Bull Racing's historic run between 2005-2025 in which the team won no fewer than 8 Drivers and 6 Constructor's championships.
Horner has been linked with several jobs in recent months, including a return to the F1 paddock, but this is the first time he has shown a public interest in MotoGP.
Similarly to Horner, Honda is also keen on making moves. The team is looking to field three teams in total next year, with a factory team and two satellite teams - though their second satellite team has yet to be secured.
With the joint ownership of Liberty Media linking F1 and MotoGP these days, it seems that the two worlds are becoming smaller and crossover appearances more regular.
