Following his departure from Red Bull last year, Christian Horner has expressed a desire to return to Formula 1. Speaking at the European Motor Show, Horner revealed he misses the sport and feels he has "unfinished business." He emphasized that any comeback would be contingent on joining a team capable of winning, indicating his high standards.

Horner, who oversaw eight drivers' and six constructors' championships during his tenure at Red Bull, is eligible to return this spring. He's reportedly part of a consortium interested in acquiring a minority stake in Alpine. The former Red Bull boss also discussed his rivalry with Toto Wolff of Mercedes, suggesting that competition is vital for the sport's appeal.

Horner's comments come after a period of speculation about his future in F1, with rumors linking him to various teams. He acknowledged the flattering interest but clarified he's not in a rush to return. His potential involvement with Alpine could reshape the team's trajectory.

With the 2026 season on the horizon, the F1 world is closely watching Horner's next move. His return to the paddock would undoubtedly inject fresh energy and strategic acumen. The Australian Grand Prix is set to kick off the season from March 6-8 on Sky Sports, which will be the first chance to see him back in action.
