Former Red Bull team principal Christian Horner is reportedly "contacting nearly every team principal" as he pursues a re-entry to F1, per the Aston Martin team chief executive officer Andy Cowell.
The British racing team is included in the teams that are associated with Horner.
The Aston Martin CEO stated he had confirmed the situation with team principal Lawrence Stroll on Friday at the Singapore Grand Prix.
"It looks as though Christian is contacting nearly every team principal at the moment," stated the executive.
"I can definitively state there are no intentions for the participation of Christian in an management or financial position in the future."
Further Organizations Respond
Haas chief Ayao Komatsu stated that the ex-chief had "approached" the Stateside organization but continued: "Nothing has gone any further. The matter is closed."
Alpine top official Steve Nielsen stated the squad's senior consultant and de facto boss Flavio Briatore was "long-standing acquaintances" with Horner.
The Alpine director commented: "I don't know what they talk about. All I can confirm is there are no plans for Christian to join Alpine but this doesn't imply it couldn't occur."
The Grove-based squad boss James Vowles confirmed that the ex-chief had not reached out to them.
"We're very happy with the structure we have and it's effective," Vowles said. "I don't see any reason to modify it."
Background Context
The ex-Red Bull chief is free to return Formula 1 by the mid-next season after concluding a severance package with his former team on 22 September.
The veteran motorsport figure was fired as Red Bull's chief after the Silverstone race in the month of July.
Various insiders at Red Bull have indicated the financial arrangement was estimated at €60 million (52 million pounds).
