Netflix punta al ritorno di Christian Horner nel paddock F1

Dopo le sue riflessioni su un licenziamento shock da Red Bull nel 2025 nella stagione 8 di Drive to Survive di Netflix, l'ex team principal Christian Horner è accostato a un ritorno in Formula 1. Le indiscrezioni dicono che la serie lo vuole indietro per trame drammatiche, mentre l'ex pilota Juan Pablo Montoya appoggia un possibile passaggio all'Alpine.

Horner è stato licenziato a metà stagione a luglio 2025 ed è stato completamente sollevato dai suoi doveri a settembre, con Laurent Mekies subentrato per guidare Max Verstappen al secondo posto nel campionato piloti. Il quotidiano italiano Corriere della Sera riporta che Netflix spera nel ritorno di Horner nel paddock F1, apprezzando le narrazioni generate da lui alla Red Bull. Drive to Survive, iniziato nel 2019 coprendo il 2018, ha messo in evidenza il suo ruolo in eventi come il passaggio di Daniel Ricciardo alla Renault, la sua rivalità con Toto Wolff e la vittoria del titolo di Verstappen nel 2021 contro Lewis Hamilton. Per il 2026, i rumors con Ferrari, Haas e Cadillac sono stati smentiti, ma Aston Martin (riunione con Adrian Newey e Honda) e soprattutto Alpine – con legami al boss Flavio Briatore – sono in ballo. Montoya ha definito un legame Horner-Alpine 'very cool', dicendo che 'farebbe meraviglie'. Horner ha anche espresso interesse ad acquistare la quota di Otro Capital in Alpine, sostenuta da Ryan Reynolds, Anthony Joshua e Trent Alexander-Arnold.
