Christian Horner Makes Public Appearance With Geri Amid F1 Return Plans

Christian Horner, the former Red Bull Racing team principal, has made a rare public appearance with his wife, Geri Horner, at a Championship football match between Watford and Coventry City, highlighting his break from Formula 1 following his £80 million severance after being dismissed in July. While Geri supports Watford, Horner is a Coventry City fan due to family ties, and the game ended in a decisive 3-1 victory for Coventry, with the team dominating from early on. Since his departure, Horner has kept a low profile but is reportedly exploring a return to F1 with potential backing from wealthy investors to possibly purchase or start a new team, and has been linked with teams like Ferrari, Alpine, Aston Martin, and Haas. During his time away from the sport, he has enjoyed personal pursuits such as road trips in Scotland and attending concerts, while his former team Red Bull prepares for crucial races in the Formula 1 championship, with Max Verstappen aiming to close the gap in the Drivers’ Championship. Horner's contract allows him to return to F1 as early as spring 2026, and FIA officials are reportedly open to his comeback, despite the controversies that marked his exit. The public outing with Geri also underscores the couple's high-profile presence beyond racing, maintaining their status in both sports and entertainment circles.
