Former Red Bull Formula 1 team boss Christian Horner visited Formula E's Monaco E-Prix and MotoGP, sparking rumors about a potential move into the MotoGP paddock. He explained his interest in Formula E and MotoGP during an interview.
Ex- Red Bull Formula 1 boss Christian Horner made another surprise guest appearance in a motorsport paddock as he visited Formula E ’s Monaco E-Prix. The 52-year-old’s Briton’s appearance in the MotoGP paddock sparked rumours he could be looking to join another ex-F1 team boss, Guenther Steiner , by moving into MotoGP.
Horner was back in another motorsport paddock last weekend, this time visiting the latest round of the Formula E championship in Monaco. Explaining his Formula E trip, Horner told talkSPORT:"I've been down to the MotoGP, having a look at the bikes.
"Coventry City made the Premiership, so that kept me busy watching those guys. And, yeah, for the first time in 30 years, I've had a little bit of time out, mainly with my family, so it's been good.
"I'm enjoying a bit of time out, and it's really nice to be at a race where you have absolutely zero pressure. "So, usually standing on this grid, you would be worried about the next two hours, but for me, I'm just here to learn a little bit more about Formula E. "I came as a guest with the Liberty guys, and it's great to see how this championship is doing.
“It's my first ever Formula E race, so seeing that Gen 4 car, I mean, that's going to be a big step for these guys. Horner is now a free agent and is officially allowed to return to work for another team in F1 following his Red Bull firing. As part of his severance package, Horner had a non-compete clause that prevented him from joining an F1 rival until the spring of 2026.
That clause ran until early May and expired following the Miami Grand Prix, freeing Horner up to make an F1 comeback. A return to F1 has been long speculated for Horner, who has stated that he has “unfinished business” in the world championship. Shareholder Otro Capital is looking to offload a 24 per cent stake in Alpine and Horner is one of the interested parties, as well as Mercedes.
