Christian Horner Reveals MotoGP Interest After Being Spotted at The Spanish GP With F1 CEO

Former Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team principal Christian Horner has been making news after being spotted at the MotoGP paddock in Jerez on Saturday. He was ousted from the F1 team last year, and since then, he has been linked to several teams. However, his visit to the premier class of motorcycle racing with F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali has raised questions about his interest in MotoGP.

Since parting ways with Red Bull, Horner has been tied to rumors around a potential purchase of a stake in the Alpine F1 team. He is also speculated to be in talks with the Aston Martin F1 team for a leadership role and a share in the company.

However, with Horner serving a gardening leave for most of 2026, he is likely exploring MotoGP, which also belongs to the owners of F1 – Liberty Media, and perhaps walking in the footsteps of former Haas F1 team principal Guenther Steiner, who led a consortium to acquire the Red Bull KTM Tech3 MotoGP team last year, becoming the CEO of the outfit.

Planet F1 quoted Horner, after he was asked at the MotoGP paddock about his interest in purchasing a MotoGP team. He said:

“I have always been a big fan of MotoGP.

“While I’ve got a little bit of time, I thought it was a good opportunity to come down and have a look at the championship.

“Obviously, [MotoGP] is under new ownership now, in common with Formula 1, and it’s great to see the bikes and how they have evolved.”
