Alpine may be Christian Horner’s F1 return route

CHRISTIAN
Horner’s name is once again circulating around the Formula 1 paddock, with fresh reports suggesting Alpine could emerge as the most realistic pathway for the former Red Bull team principal to make a sensational return to the sport.While nothing has been confirmed, the idea of Horner linking up with the Enstone-based outfit has quickly gathered momentum as F1 looks ahead to a transformative 2026 season.
Horner’s exit from Red Bull earlier this year brought an end to one of the most successful team principal tenures in modern F1 history.
Across two decades, he oversaw multiple championship cycles and helped turn Red Bull into a benchmark operation.
Any return, however, was always expected to come with conditions.
