Guenther Steiner does not think Christian Horner will rush back to F1 next season. The deal means the 51-year-old Briton, who was fired by Red Bull after the British Grand Prix in July, is free to return to a position within F1 before the summer of 2026. Horner has been linked with the likes of Alpine, Aston Martin and even Haas, but former Red Bull colleague Steiner doubts he will return so quickly. "With Red Bull, we could see it during the last one-and-a-half years where every race weekend there was drama, and that has gone away. I think Aston Martin with the people they have in place are very well set to show what they can do under the new regulations.”
