The former Red Bull boss, who was dismissed from his role at Milton Keynes only weeks ago, is reportedly in discussions with the Scuderia as he eyes a swift comeback to the paddock.

Horner spent two decades at the helm of Red Bull, transforming the team into one of F1’s modern powerhouses. Under his leadership, the outfit claimed 14 world titles — including eight drivers’ championships with Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen, and six constructors’ crowns.
